Gary Eats

[eloise b]

I liked gary before he got friendly with danny hes now turned into danny 2.0. One is bad enough

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

He was rambling on how he does his shopping in Sainsbury’s actually and was only getting a few essentials in Waitrose
It’s hardly like doing your weekly shop at Fortnums or Selfridges is it the whole video was bonkers really

it felt very rambling and odd. Like his made up examples didn't even seem real? And he went on a rant about how many YouTuber mates he has, as you say his supermarket of choice, odd drop in by a Gary fan.

 

[constancehardbroom]

Exactly - why would anyone have a problem that he shopped in Waitrose when it's clear that he's making money from YouTube and his channel is all about spending money on eating out

I watched it half asleep, if I remember correctly, someone was aggrieved he was shopping at Waitrose and it wasn’t a shop he was just getting few things, naming off bread, milk, a ready meal (for his mum)..What difference does it make think he also said when he was being harassed people got their phones out to film, and he was uncomfortable, the irony… also at the end he says if it happens again, he’s going to film them and put it online ..err…

I did crack up though when he referred to Danny as 'an expert' on fish & chips

A expert on eating it yes.

Look like huge blackheads to me!

 

[Shabbar]

He doesn't look healthy at all to me, he looks like a drinker - the gut, red face, drinker's nose. I've stopped watching him but still follow this thread.

He reminds me of pretty much every pub landlord I’ve known or worked for in hospitality. Not a healthy lifestyle. Beer every night. I take it his career was probably something like that

 

[PuritySpiral]

The word obsequious was made for Gary

 

[ChickenLicking]

I'm watching now: well, I FF'd most of it. He gets his wallet out at 16m 23s. He's such a condescending twat.

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

Yer, throwing roses at himself

Exactly! Like he’s constantly patting himself on the back for not filming staff, when you shouldn’t be filming staff anyway! He’s determined to be a ‘good guy’

 

[Scar2016]

Where was he filming this epic? In the street? Why? He could have done it at home or in his Fiesta, would make more sense than standing outside somewhere with Joe Public passing by.

He dropped the optics ball on his chosen public location for feeling so scared in public lol

 

[Rosie glow]

Omg the table

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

Oh no having to answer a question, how awful.

 

[Judes1974]

The Waitrose he goes to is mainly full of people over the age of 65 who probably have no idea the Gary Eats channel exists.

 

[TheAJ]

It's unfortunately what the YouTube algorithm demands, everyone is doing it, not just the food ones.

literally nothing stopping him or anyone being better and doing differently other than laziness, ignorance or cheapness, or all 3

 

[SwiftieNewRomantics]

Not bothering to watch it but i imagine its all exaggerated. Play stupid games win stupid prizes peddling rage bait. Also so he's against people 'ambushing' him in public but its totally fine/ 'right' for him to do it to people at work or for his pitbull danny to do it back?

It was absolutely right for Danny to go to this guys work! Apparently. Such bullshit, and he’s trying to occupy some moral high ground

 

[TheAJ]

id like to know what kind of footfall increase you get from a review from an influencer like Gary or Danny. It must work for some places, but that place in Brentford said they came for the free food then business dried up again.

given how many if not the majority of the reviews are now negative i cant imagine its much, even if theyre good remote locations wont see much increase. Especially as the majority of the audience are now of the 'eating out is a rip off, i can do it for a tenth of the cost at home' brigade, which is largely what led me to making the comments about how danny, gary and such others are actually damaging an already at its knees hospitality industry

 

[Anonymous_Daisy]

Someone posted this in the Hannah ricketts thread already

Mr. Daisy was watching that as he likes watching Gary's videos and he told me apparently someone called him a fraud and how they saw him at Waitrose or something? And apparently someone squared up to him and he had to push him away? It might all be complete made up BS for views so I'd take what he says with a pinch of salt.

 

[Big Red Dog]

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.

I agree with all that I like Si and will have a look at his YouTube channel when it arrives.

 

[mrsfeather]

I just unsubscribed from his channel. He became too big for his boots in my opinion.

 

[Sakkiedekock]

who is this moron? Gawd he's vile-and I can barely understand what he's saying. The irony is outstanding.

Old Food Guy.
