    Hope you don't mind me saying but your last two videos I have personally found your best. I think the videos when you find these unique dishes and hidden gems gives you your own identity.

    Why do people have to get so damn personal with you all the time? “sort ya Barnet out … still on the diet? Wash your hands … bit unhygienic isn’t it? You really going to eat all that? My goodness! I’m fed up with people having a go at you and for what? A man can sit and eat a steak the size of the United States in less than 20 minutes yawn yawn or 28 burgers in under 10 minutes etc and they don’t get all this coming at them? You’re a gentleman DJ … you spend hours in between your job doing these uploads and you know London like the back of your hand and you talk with such kindness and really give us all an insight into London which is history!! You try so many different eateries good and bad and you’re always honest with your findings! You can eat a hot curry way beyond most of your subscribers! I think you’re great DJ a real gem on UA-cam as I’ve told you before! And most of your subscribers I think feel the same. You’re still my favourite UA-camr and I love what you do and eat and learning about London too. Don’t ever change DJ. Til the next one! 💜🏎️🍽️

    Good Evening DJ. Yes, this was one of those Little Gems in China town/ London. I really liked seeing those Delicious Deserts on the menu. What you chose looked absolutely Gorgeous and so, so Tasty. It was Heaven on a wooden chopping board. Do not let anyone say to You, you can not do that. Ignore them and go and do what you want. Yes, Life is to short. Go out there and Enjoy yourself. You will feel a lot Better for it, and it may even put a Big Smile on your Face. People see you Smiling, it Will make them Smile and feel Good about themselves. Thank you very much DJ for sharing your Lovely video.

    Hi Darren, Thankyou for finding Candy Café. Another one of your little Gems that you find. The Oreo bread dessert looked so, so very nice 🎉 A Hot Chocolate or Fanta Lemon 🍋 would go down nice to drink at the side. Fanta Lemon 🍋 your favourite, Darren. 😎 The sweet and sour taste of waffles and bacon and eggs and maple syrup is really nice isn't it, from America, goes so well, like you said. And its good to Try something different. I always Love trying new foods and things. Lovely video Darren 😍
