I’m surprised he doesn’t stink of it. In my experience smokers are never aware of how much they reek. Also he can’t be a food critic’ while smoking. Messes with your taste buds.
Oh he did, I had to stand practically next to him to get sauces etc as they were on a table behind him.

Although he says he doesn't make much money from Youtube! Wonder why some vloggers say this as others with not that many subscribers live very well from their channels. Travel Trolls, Butlers Empire Greeno to name a few. Maybe Gary feels uncomfortable making so much money?
Once a YouTuber get 1000 subscribers, they can monetise their channel. So he has probably been earning money for ages.

He isn't doing too badly, for someone who started his channel in 2023.
Indeed. He was in my husband's suggested list waaaay back when, when he had about 1k if that subs - it was kind of meteoric and a bit mesmerising to watch the vids and see it climb and climb. I remember saying to my husband that this must be an offshoot channel. The production shots were there from the off, which as we now know is entirely down to his son. As has been said on this thread - Gary is a useless food reviewer - there's a lot he doesn't like and he ran out of words a long time ago.

Yep, together with another Big Unit, aka 'Street Food Man' or suchlike? That cafe looks rank - the kitchen's archaic.

Crap content.

He is inoffensive but I automatically flinch at very obvious posh boys speaking as if they're from 'the hood' - his constant use of 'bruv' is a particular irritant. Some of his videos can be overly long, too - 20 minutes tops is more than enough but 40+ and I'm definitely not watching!
that's fair I can forgive the colloquialisms personally and dont mind longer videos if the contents good, he churns out alot so can choose a length im in the mood for should i start watching him

He's probably joined the same agency as Hannah Ricketts.
She's also gone down the same rage bait route with the hotel reviews.
It might explain those strange London vlogs where they all met up.
It pays well until he gets bopped.
I did wonder if it was an agency behind it but beyond me what good reason he'd have for joining one, cant imagine they'd do much for him than he already does, potentially how he got the book deal? Hannah however I can see being the sort of person to think its the done thing and going down that route

Whilst it's not exactly a polite comment, it is worlds away from 'abuse'. Gary's response here is symptomatic of the current trend of online hyperbole that devalues language and meaning eg impolite = abuse, disagreement = hate, right of centre = fascist etc
Well said.

He honestly knows very little about food apart from experience eating at a lot of places. I've only really discovered him via Danny the idiot, and at least Danny doesn't make out he knows anything about food apart from liking eating it. I notice he mainly just lets Danny speak, and then has absolutely zero to add to the conversation. It's all "quality ingredients", "a good cut of beef", or "expertly cooked". 😴 I have no idea how he got popular apart from a load of gammons following him.

And yes, @ChickenLicking is right: you can't be a main carer and be out as much as he is scoffing his face.
