Just had a look and it has had 780 000 views, and your man Greeno is in the comments crying as well. Sick of this lot, totally up themselves.

Remember the look on the Chef’s face in Harvester.. when Gary requested a special word to “commend” him on a job well done 👏 Then plastered the guys face on it, with an “I approached the chef” angle.
Omg yes that poor chef looked mortified
I wouldnt be happy if I was out for dinner and the next day I found myself on YouTube

This bit from the latest video was hilarious. Gary seems disconcerted someone would imagine he was on a date with a man

I hate this dynamic they're trying to create like Danny is a stupid child and Gary is The Adult who rolls his eyes and corrects him or indulges him

Yer, anywhere , never mind a 3* Michelin. He was in a pub in Glasgow there and was saying he loved it cos they give for the community. He said his parents did same thing but not on “such” a scale, and commenters asked what pub did his parents own, didn’t see anything he replied (maybe he has since) .he was saying it’s gone up in price,since he was last there ,a quid or something, but has to. he then said he wanted some more gravy, but wouldn’t be right to ask, what! Just ask the woman for a splash more gravy 🙈🫠 she’ll bring you it, like they’re paupers , he’s so dramatic 😂
He also loves making a point of leaving a tip in places. As though he invented the concept of tipping.

im out of politeness, he can get fucked for this
rage baiting on a new restaurant opening in this economy? get absolutely fucked. So fucking toxic, how if any of what he said is true in his sob story is he actually doubling down on this b.s, cretin.

Anyone else find his latest reveiw a bit cringe?yes of course it was a nice thing to do but found it a bit weird
Anybody remember Harry Enfield's smashie and nicey characters "that do a lot for charity, but dont like to talk about it" but do nothing else
I find Gary a bit like that why not do it in private off of camara it was the same with that massively over priced food van he gave money to for the kids
Then accosting that poor chap just minding his own business on the way out 😬

Couldn’t agree more.

it’s constant clickbait slop now which is fine if it was just purely for clicks and nobody was getting hurt. But he’s damaging real small businesses with his witless videos. He’s not a food critic. He doesn’t have the journalistic integrity required to be one and to balance the customers viewpoint whilst respecting the business aspect. He has quite a nasty side which seems to be a feature with a lot of the big reviewers.

I always thought that he lived in Sutton or nearby? Is there any news on Old Ma Eats or is she cared for by professionals now?
I related to him a lot back in the day because I was a carer for my mum. The more I watched, the more I doubted the truth of what he said about that, as there was no way I could have done even a tenth of what he did when I was caring but I loved that he was finding space to look after Mum and take care of himself.

Caring is relentless. If you can't buy your way out of the grind, the physical side will wear you down. Even if you can (I couldn't) I imagine the emotional load still persists.

I could just about get my head around how Gary could be a carer for his elderly mum and sneak out somewhere local for a break when she was settled/calm/with someone else and film it for some extra youtube cash. That was my buy in to his channel tbh. He lost me when he went ever further and fancier and didn't say a word about mum.

I guess maybe his mum has passed now. Or maybe she's in professional care. Anyone who's been a carer would have no judgement about professional care. But it seemed he that used that a way to hook an emotional audience then never revisited it.

Just on the above point, has anyone seen Gary, Greeno(I think), Rate my takeaway, Harrison and Hannah Ricketts all together. There have been a couple of videos and they are as awkward as they sound. I've lost track of which channel puts them out. It's like a knowing nod that they are all in the same clique and viewership but it falls utterly flat because none of them really get on or have chemistry in the same room.

That was a weird one it all seemed a bit far fetched tbh im not saying people dont go up to him and make comments but that level of abuse, for a food reviewer?
Surely if people were doing what he claims you would report it to the police 🤷‍♀️
Specially if someone was allegedly abusing your mother with dementia. He somehow knows this abuse his mother is getting (assuming that’s even true) is related to the channel. Again, how could he possibly know that? Bullshit.

The depressing thing is there are so many good restaurants out there... that make you feel good when you watch reviewers at, thatre interesting, that would actually benefit from some publicity where people would think 'oo that looks good let me go try there!' who tf is watching the fish and chip shops or £1 burgers and thinking 'oo ima get me some of that'. But no, theyre catering slop to the thick because rage bait is the easy option, lazy -.-

He was so patronising to that chef who was actually the manager. Like he needed to be told he cooked the food right. Chef looked at him like he was a complete idiot. Which he is. Who can I blame for finding this twat.
