Gary Eats

[Rosie glow]

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

 

[PuritySpiral]

That video was embarrassing. Si King was speaking earnestly and knowledgeably about the food and the venue he'd chosen, meanwhile Gary is clearly not listening and acting the fool making stupid faces about drinking a negroni. Even my husband who is normally more forgiving of him than I am said it was glaringly obvious that for the bigger restauranty hitters, it was just respective management teams who'd got in touch with one another rather than Gary being great mates with them.

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

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

That dannys content is pretty dire. His wife’s is even worse. Not surprised his influence has made the mediocre Gary even worse

 

[PuritySpiral]

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

These food vloggers are ten a penny now, I've given up watching any of them.

 

[Kimbob]

my dad is who started me watching him when i’ve visited him, he now just puts him on to watch me get irate at him

 

[Shabbar]

he needs to stay off the booze cause it makes him even more irritating

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

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.

 

[Notsotypical]

They’re so boring all just copying each other, shoving cheap burgers into their mouths while they have nothing interesting to say.

The sad thing is they are getting the views

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

Danny's grandparents or parents owned a chippy. Gazza thinks he knows about food because he has a YT channel buying and eating food. He can't articulate anything interesting about food. Pub food when G was supposedly in the "business" was fucking rank.

Neither of them has anything interesting or insightful to say about food. They basically say 'its nice' or 'its not nice' or its 'cold/doesn't have enough salt/vinegar/it's greasy' its very shallow lazy content they make.

 

[TheAJ]

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.

 

[Sabbie]

Was he holding his B&H like this?

 

[Rosie glow]

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

 

[TommyAGS]

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.

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

I remember Players Navy Cut.
They stank.

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.

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

I am not accusing him of anything, but I can't be the only one who thinks he gives off pedalo vibes.

He gives me the vibe of someone who would think his flirting with waitresses was appreciated and not them wanting a tip.

 

[PuritySpiral]

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.

 

[Big Red Dog]

I happened to catch the latest video from Danny'fatso'Malin last night now I watched the last Brit Awards I remember the camera panning round the tables the commentary said thats some pleb you've never heard of next table thats some pleb who had a minor hit several years ago next table thats Danny'fatso'Malin from Rate My Takeaway next table thats some pleb even I don't know of. Now on the side of Danny's van it says as seen on the Brit Awards good grief give it a break.

 

[PuritySpiral]

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.
