@@GaryEats No problem. It's refreshing to see good honest food reviews with no dramatic overreactions. As the poster above said no gimmics or t-shirts. You keep it simple and respectable. Brilliant stuff.
If I was a tv producer id be begging this channel to do a high budget series - ‘Gary eats… America’, ‘Gary eats… India’, ‘Gary eats…. Ireland’ etc. Best food show ever!
Gary you are almost at the 100,000 mark! And within your first year! Well done to you and your Son. Just a small token to buy you both a pint to celebrate such an amazing achievement. And to thank you both for providing us all with great content and reviews. Take care. Sharon. x
Thanks so much Sharon, that's incredibly kind of you. I always appreciate your feedback and do listen. It means the world to me you think highly of the channel and wish you all the best!!
I have just came across Gary’s UA-cam What an absolutely lovely British gentleman. This is what you call a gentleman I love your attitude and style mate such a lovely humble man. You remind me of great friends from the past. Keep up Your content I’m a subscriber now!
@@GaryEatshey up mate you allowed the camera man to eat so you're gonna get that 100k this week, I would have had same as camera man and definitely eat the skin it's best bit
It's not about Spudman, unfortunately I've had a lot of negative comments recently regarding how I rate things so I just wanted to explain things to everyone
I love baked (jacket) potatoes! At home, I scoop out the flesh, mash it and add butter, salt & pepper. I put butter in the skins, fold them up and eat them. Crispy skin is the bomb! Eating out, I will sometimes get "the works" - butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and green onions if offered. I normally scoop out the flesh and leave the skins - restaurant baked are not always great. What a creative, easy, fun menu. It goes right back to the expression "a small menu done extremely well is better than an extensive menu done badly." Kudos to the creator of such a clever concept!😊❤
That sounds an amazing way to cook your jacket potato. I’ll have to definitely try that. I really like that combination as well. I agree he’s done really well. X
I am so glad you finally made it to see Spudman. After that roller-coaster of a ride in Ireland, to the appalling menu at Taco Belle, you certainly have experienced the highs and lows of eating food around the UK and beyond. I always believe that if a food vendor focus on one particular food item, in the case the humble jacket potato, does it extremely well, it is worth the money one pays for it. I was eagerly awaiting your review having watched two of other favorite vloggers visit this lovely town, and was not disappointed. It was certainly value for the money and looked quite tasty as well. Keep up the great work Gary, and I look forward to your further culinary adventures. Kindest regards, Anna-Marie from Pennsylvania USA!
I love Spudman he has dialysis regularly every week and runs a successful business and works so hard. Terrific review many thanks Gary 💎🙏 cheese and beans for me with black pepper is lush
There are vitamins in the potato skin so I always eat it and prefer it crisped up. The food portions were huge and home made so it deserved a high score. I believe Spud Man does some great charity work too.
Thank you Gary for a mouthwatering review. I'm a baked potato purist, with only loads of butter, skin and all. Nationwide local baked potato stands have benefited from the popularity of Spudman. Well deserved 8.5/10.
gary. you are the man. usually dont give a toss about this type of content but the fact you are yourself. and dont force unfunny jokes puts you above the others i know of with more viewers. keep being yourself mate. god bless
(91) LOVE jacket (AKA "baked" potatoes in USA) spuds. Make a big pot of a thick stew, curry, savoury mince, ANYTHING really and serve it on a sizeable spud. I stab my spuds and give them a soak in heavily-salted water for about two hours. Then dry them off, oil them up, sprinkle with salt and bake straight on the oven rack. (I do cheat by a 3-minute head start in a microwave) Lovely upload Gary, thanks for the tag-along!!!
Tamworth is a beautiful city to visit, with so many historic places and nice landscape. Now, you really can't beat Spudman. I mean it is indeed a cheap fast food restaurant where you can eat for 6 or 7 pounds and again become satisfied. Worth the visit and drive those 120 miles from london to pay a visit. Good show Gary 👍.
The range of types of foods, restaurants/takeaways and budgets is one of the reasons why your channel is so good. From michelin starred restaurants to spud vans and everything in between.
Spudman is awesome.He looks after everyone.Massive fillings and value. Love what you are doing Gary.Really interesting and helpful.Keep up the great work.
You remind me of the great Keith Floyd in that you have zero food snobbery - yes you love top-end food but you are equally happy with a jacket spud, a Costco hot dog or a bag of fish and chips. Here's to 100k - no food reviewer deserves it more.
I still love re watching any Floyd programme . He was truly invested in using quality product's to make approachable meals for home cooks . I think your reviews fit into the same category 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Gary. Here’s a great example how your reviews influence thousands of viewers. From the disaster of Taco Bell to the quality and value of Spudman. I wonder if you and your son realise how much your efforts are valued by us all. I guess 100,000 says everything!
In the late 1990s i moved to Kingston upon Thames. I was only 17, got a job at Spud U Like. Such a simple concept, 1 spud and a filling. Another great review and looking forward to you getting that 100k 🎉🎉
This type of proper british grub should be sold all over the country instead of endless mc donalds, kfc etc. £5 for nutritious delicious unprocessed 'fast' food.
Four of us druling. For a fill-up lunch, perfect. A good local business. Thanks for taking us along. Appreciated......now where are those spuds. Down to me in the kitchen. Tut!
Interesting video particularly for me. My stepfather had a couple of jacket potato units and used to do big events and had regular contracts with racecourses. He had the only jacket potato unit inside the ground at Manchester United until health and safety ended that due to the gas bottles used to fuel the two pickwick ovens. I worked with him as a student some 36 years ago when I could. A week at Glastonbury was fun when he used to shout "hash for cash" (jokingly!) to the bleary eyed in the early hours. It's what he called " let the dog see the rabbit" and they bought. He only started the business after retiring as a head teacher in his late 50s but told me that he wished he'd have done it sooner as there is a good business to be made in the common spud. Those spuds from The Spud Man looked great and nice to see he made his own curry / chilli which we never did. The menu though is just about the same as ours all those years ago. Must be all time classics so why change? Thanks for the review Gary.
You know what, There will be a day when Gary has obtained so many subs and comments on the daily that it'll be difficult to respond to them all. However, you thoroughly deserve it, Gary. Such a natural channel, nothing over the top of ridiculous, said how it is as it is. If you ever make a trip to Scotland, there's a place in Falkirk called "Three Little Pigs" that has absolutely astonishing food, from burgers to hot dogs to Mexican-based things. Top tier recommendation.
You know, this makes me appreciate our resident jacket potato based food truck here in Brisbane Australia, London Spuds. They serve roast potatoes with a range of toppings in the one product, for example, they have the 'Elizabeth Taylor', which comes with the spud, pure butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits and garlic infused oil. Or, simply because I love Doctor Who, the 'Doctor Who' which comes with butter, piping hot baked beans, cheese, sour cream and spring onion. Basically, each jacket potato comes loaded with multiple toppings and there's several variations that you can buy, it's a bit pricey at $19.50AUD (10.27 UK Pounds), but it's a massive feed, so worth it if the truck is nearby - they are in a different location every week. My take on Spudman from what I've seen is that I'd be a bit disappointed, it might be cheap, but it lacks a range of toppings for the each potato you can get, also, how can you not have a jacket potato without butter and sour cream? They go hand in hand!
Thanks, Gary & Son, personally, I like crispy skin, but here in Cyprus the skins are so thin you can't crisp them up. When I lived in England I would eat all the potato and filling and then slather butter onto the crispy skin roll it and my goodness my favourite!! Love to you both. 👍👍🙋♀🙋♀🌹🌹
Simple pleasures. When I was in Scotland over 20 years ago we went to a pub and I had a jacket potato with baked beans. It was fantastic! Eat all of the inside first and then the skin.
The only way anyone should dispute your ratings, is if they are standing next to you eating it with you and even then, opinions are subjective. One experience of the same food in the same place will be different to someone else's as the quality , the taste, the service can be different one day to the next, so people, be fair to Gary! Those portions for that price is excellent. Only a matter of days Gary for that 100k! I hope you do a video when you get that plaque! We are all so proud of you and your cameraman/son.
Have been looking forward to this one Gary as I’ve been following Spudman on TikTok. What he has achieved and accomplished is just amazing. The British basic jacket potato and filling you wouldn’t believe how popular it is. I noticed he didn’t recognise you Gary unless it wasn’t shown on camera. Amazing portion sizes from SM. Good ole basic British food healthy and nutritious.
Me and the wife have been glued to this for the last 16 minutes because we love jacket potatoes. Chilli and cheese is my fav and either beans or chicken curry are hers. I like a crispy and salty skin and there has to be plenty of juice or you end up eating dry potato towards the end. There is a stand in Leamington Spa half way up the Parade who has been there for decades. The service is like you are meeting an old friend and the spuds are up there. Never been disappointed. Thanks for another great video. Next time I fully expect 100k 😉
Gary just wanted to say a massive CONGRATULATIONS to you and the cameraman of course to hit 100k as quickly as you have is testament to all the hard work and dedication that you shown to the channel and the professionalism and quality of content cannot be matched. You are without question the NO.1 Channel on UA-cam long may your success continue on the way to 200K
I've got to say. I have seen the comments praising you, and i can see you have really strong charisma when you speak. You really engage us (as the audience). You are a natural born presenter/tv personality. Would be crazy if any producers didn't pick you up.
Hi Gary, the wife and I went up to try the hype a while back and we weren't disappointed. We went to visit some friends and we all went up to try the spuds. My wife and both had one with butter and cheese, then I had one with chilli con carne and my wife I think, if I don't remember wrong, with Tuna mayo and sweetcorn. It was very well executed jacket potatoes, the fillings was really good and the portion size enormous. So we didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. The value is just amazing for what it is, as it it's quite a simple concept. But we gave it a 7.5 out of 10, due to the value and quality. Another fantastic review in the bag, mate and getting closer and closer to 100K subs and that silver button. Have a wonderful rest of your day and will email you tomorrow, found a new gem in London! 😊
#1: you didn't have to explain how you rate the food. We trust your expertise. #2: it is so wonderful you care enough to tell us why and how you do. #3: we love what you do and how you do it!!! That's why we come back to watch.!!! You are the BEST!!! ❤❤❤
Gary, found your channel a few weeks ago. I've binged every single one of your videos, I find them so calming. Can't think of a more deserving person to hit that 100k. Ben
I think the people who criticise your assessment and scoring process really don't get what your channel is about. Not all things are equal and that has to be key to what you do. You do it very well. That's why I stick around. You're fair, honest and objective. Even when the experience is bad, you look for something positive. By the way, those spuds looked excellent.
Almost at 100k subscribers. Well earned success for you and your cameraman and the hard work you both put into your reviews. Have a great day everyone.
Fair bit of variety aye, years ago my mum would make these spuds and we would put baked beans, bacon, ham and sour cream with grated cheese on top, Watching these videos reminds me of those good old days, I’ll have to remind mum about them and maybe hint to her to makes some 😂👌
Its so lovely to see a very humble kind man on You tube. I see Garrys reviews as a bible to good cusuine. We always follow your great vlogs and decide where we will eat. Thank you Garry for your hard work.
By way of sheer coincidence 🙃I made JPs for the family tonight after a long break. Great in the air fryer, slightly wiped with olive oil, salt, pepper and slightly spiked. 200 at 40 mins and nice crispy skin. Served with a quintessential tuna, chive, pepper mayonnaise salad…
100K Subscribers !!!!!!!!! Wow and huge congratulations to you both. I've been following you since about the 20K mark. Super channel and you've both done this so so so well. Onwards to a Million - go on, go on............let's give it a go !
🎉🎉 Congratulations 🎉🎉 100,000 Subscribers Well done Gary, & the famous Cameraman!!!! No one deserves it more! 👏👏 Make sure to celebrate tonight. Cheers 🍻
@@TelThePower Please accept my apology Tel. I think we were all on tenterhooks waiting for the milestone to be reached. I just could not believe my eyes when I saw the transition from 99.9k to 100k. This was pure fluke. I was the childish one. Sorry. And you one gentleman too. Have a lovely day. Take care. Sharon
Hi Gary, excellent video of our local spudman, glad to see you in Tamworth 😁, I've just booked neil morrisseys pub for our meal on Saturday thanks to your excellent review of the plume of feathers.
Love your channel, little bit of feedback, when you say look at this, the camera man hesitation followed by the swoop in is a bit annoying, just pan down and get to the subject straight away and full frame it, rather then at the bottom of the screen, then you are pulling back too quickly for the viewer to have a good look at the food. Sorry to be picky as you know followed you for a very long time and a huge fan, but video filming and editing is my business. Camera man needs a few pointers ❤❤Potatoes looked lovely.
Thank you for the feedback. We get lots of feedback on how we should film it's quite dfficult to please everyone but I do take it on board and always appreciate feedback thank you
@@GaryEats I am wary online as people can get quite defensive and I would hate to lose my ability to follow you. Your reviews are excellent and interesting. It’s funny when you do things for a living you start to pick up on things.
I’m looking forward to this,love a good jacket.Anniversary of my mums passing was yesterday so I won’t be online much until next week out of respect for my mum I shall be reflecting and remembering amazing memories Shall see you soon Gary I hope you enjoyed it All the best 🌟
Sitting, watching this while my, very late, dinner is cooking… absolutely mouthwatering food you presented there, Gary! If only I lived anywhere near Tamworth.. Keep up the good work. Just love the channel. 👍😬
Nearly there Gary so I'll congratulate you in advance - as a viewer almost from the beginning it has been wonderful to see your channel grow so fast! Very best wishes to you and the cameraman from Tasmania.
Congrats Gary….100k!!! Well done on having, in my opinion, the best food review channel there is. A note of special thanks to ‘The Cameraman’🎉 Major Milestone, onwards and upwards mate 👍🏻….As always, let’s give it a go!
congratulations 100K subscribers. Yes, really pleased for you Gary. You truly do deserve the YT 100K award. Keep up the great content. One of the best channels around.
My days Gary - what a fantastic portion on each spud & what terrific value for money all backed up with great taste. Quality food that will not break the bank. You couldn't ask for more !
I knew you were going to go 8 1/2 on this one. I just felt it. Love your channel, from the USofA. Keep up the great work. I really enjoyed your trip to Philadelphia to try a cheesesteak, I was born in South Philly about ten minutes from Pats Steaks. Loved that episode! Keep up the great work! 🙋🏻♂️👍
My favourite jacket would have almost leather-hard skin and lots of tuna mayonnaise, with a crunchy salad on the side. This van looks like a real asset to Tamworth. Love that you try such different establishments!
Yes yes yes 💐💐💐💐 congratulations Gary + Cameraman to 100k!!! So deserved and as I said you are going to celebrate this weekend...here you go. Enjoy, sending my deepest appreciation to you, Katrin🥰
The most decent, humble and down to earth food reviewer on UA-cam. No ego just honesty. Keep up the good work Gary.
I totally agree no gimmicks no T-shirts with advertisements on
my favourite food review by far
I really appreciate your wonderful comment John, thank you ever so much
@@GaryEats No problem. It's refreshing to see good honest food reviews with no dramatic overreactions. As the poster above said no gimmics or t-shirts. You keep it simple and respectable. Brilliant stuff.
Lovely comment John and my sentiments exactly. Top bloke 👍
Absolutely agree
If I was a tv producer id be begging this channel to do a high budget series - ‘Gary eats… America’, ‘Gary eats… India’, ‘Gary eats…. Ireland’ etc. Best food show ever!
That is very kind to say thank you very much
I can see that happening.
@@That.old.mountain I agree. Three cheers for Gary! He made Norwich headlines recently for his disappointment at the fish n chips.
Amazing what bargains you can get.... when you sacrifice paying for a comfy seat and expensive surroundings.
No one cares about tv anymore
Gary you are almost at the 100,000 mark! And within your first year! Well done to you and your Son. Just a small token to buy you both a pint to celebrate such an amazing achievement. And to thank you both for providing us all with great content and reviews. Take care. Sharon. x
Thanks so much Sharon, that's incredibly kind of you. I always appreciate your feedback and do listen. It means the world to me you think highly of the channel and wish you all the best!!
You wordidid much better than I would've done but I agree 10+/10 what a nice bloke.
Your scoring system is very fair. Easy to understand, transparent and applied without favour. I like it.
Glad you think so, just had a few comments of late
I love the diversity of these reviews. One day in a top end restaurant the next in a butty wagon. Brilliant!
More to come!! Thank you
I have just came across Gary’s UA-cam
What an absolutely lovely British gentleman. This is what you call a gentleman
I love your attitude and style mate such a lovely humble man. You remind me of great friends from the past. Keep up

No need to explain your scoring system at all. It’s by far the most fair given the fact you review all types of cuisine. Yet another top video Gary!
Thank you very kind
Yeah, I thought the score system review was a bit strange as well.
It's a food truck for gods sake.
They look rock hard. 😂
Yeah I agree
Gary has extensive experience at this stage in the game and CAN be trusted, that’s important in a reviewer

Oh yes, delicious Steve
You juat can't beat a good jacket spud. Unprocessed, tasty, inexpensive, nutritious and filling. 😋
And the toxins.
Vitamins in GMO Spuds, good one! 😂
Wow ❤ The size of the potatoes and the generous filling coupled with perfectly cooked ❤
Yes it was!
Spud on review! Almost 100K Gary, so Exciting! You well deserve it!

Skins the best part of the potato, crispier the better.
Oh yes Harry
Potato skins are packed with vitamins. And delicious ❣️
The only time I peel mine is for mash. Then I bake the skins. YUM ❣️
A bit of olive oil & sea salt before putting the spuds in the oven
Definitely a winner
Too right mate!
So true!

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment as always. That sounds delicious
What does the soaking do for it?
@@accountnamewithheld A quick brine. Due to osmosis, the salt gets drawn into the flesh of the potato as well as extra moisture.
@@thaisstone5192Thanks for the brining tip!

Great point!
semi processed, cant get that cheap without some cheap ingredients.. miles better than mcshite though
Chilli and chicken curry straight out of a tin from Bookers and frozen pork with BBQ sauce dumped on it. Proper unprocessed grub that
Always crispy skin for me. Those were some spudastic spuds, great value.
I always eat the skin. Prefer it crispy or slightly overdone.. But I will eat it anyway. It's always the best bit at the end. Good value.
Completely agree Kenneth

Thanks, Gary & Son, personally, I like crispy skin, but here in Cyprus the skins are so thin you can't crisp them up. When I lived in England I would eat all the potato and filling and then slather butter onto the crispy skin roll it and my goodness my favourite!! Love to you both. 👍👍🙋♀🙋♀🌹🌹
Absolutely lovely and thank you Jacqui ❤️🌹
Simple pleasures. When I was in Scotland over 20 years ago we went to a pub and I had a jacket potato with baked beans. It was fantastic! Eat all of the inside first and then the skin.
That’s the best way to do it, Julie. I agree simple pleasures.
The only way anyone should dispute your ratings, is if they are standing next to you eating it with you and even then, opinions are subjective. One experience of the same food in the same place will be different to someone else's as the quality , the taste, the service can be different one day to the next, so people, be fair to Gary! Those portions for that price is excellent. Only a matter of days Gary for that 100k! I hope you do a video when you get that plaque! We are all so proud of you and your cameraman/son.
Thank you, that comment was beautiful to read and it means a lot
@@GaryEats Every word meant 😊
Have been looking forward to this one Gary as I’ve been following Spudman on TikTok. What he has achieved and accomplished is just amazing. The British basic jacket potato and filling you wouldn’t believe how popular it is. I noticed he didn’t recognise you Gary unless it wasn’t shown on camera. Amazing portion sizes from SM. Good ole basic British food healthy and nutritious.
Fantastic comment David and I couldn't agree more
Yes!
Yes!
No
Me and the wife have been glued to this for the last 16 minutes because we love jacket potatoes. Chilli and cheese is my fav and either beans or chicken curry are hers. I like a crispy and salty skin and there has to be plenty of juice or you end up eating dry potato towards the end. There is a stand in Leamington Spa half way up the Parade who has been there for decades. The service is like you are meeting an old friend and the spuds are up there. Never been disappointed. Thanks for another great video. Next time I fully expect 100k 😉
Ah thank you so much to the pair of you, it means a lot and your choices are excellent as well. I really appreciate your lovely comment, thank you
Gary just wanted to say a massive CONGRATULATIONS to you and the cameraman of course to hit 100k as quickly as you have is testament to all the hard work and dedication that you shown to the channel and the professionalism and quality of content cannot be matched. You are without question the NO.1 Channel on UA-cam long may your success continue on the way to 200K
Eamonn that's very kind of you!! Thanks so much
A lovely jacket spud with great fillings proper comfort food . Here’s to 100k this will get you there I think
Oh yes, can't ask for much more and thank you
Love a spud. My nan used to say as long as you have potatoes in the pantry you can make a meal. Very close to the 100k Gary. Well deserved 👍
Your Nan wasn’t silly, Mike, and thank you very much
Crispy skin..the best bit! So glad you came to Tamworth to see our Spudman .....fab review!
He does a fantastic job, Jayne well done to him and thank you very much
By the next video, you should be at 100K. Things just keep looking up for this channel.
Fingers crossed!
Best food review channel by a mile.
@@douglasgrahamdronefilmingp2068 💯
You’re a breath of fresh air Gary 🤗
That’s very kind to say, thank you very much
I've got to say. I have seen the comments praising you, and i can see you have really strong charisma when you speak. You really engage us (as the audience). You are a natural born presenter/tv personality. Would be crazy if any producers didn't pick you up.
Thank you very much, wow that’s an incredibly kind comment
Tuna red onion and mayo!
Hi Gary, the wife and I went up to try the hype a while back and we weren't disappointed. We went to visit some friends and we all went up to try the spuds. My wife and both had one with butter and cheese, then I had one with chilli con carne and my wife I think, if I don't remember wrong, with Tuna mayo and sweetcorn. It was very well executed jacket potatoes, the fillings was really good and the portion size enormous. So we didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. The value is just amazing for what it is, as it it's quite a simple concept. But we gave it a 7.5 out of 10, due to the value and quality. Another fantastic review in the bag, mate and getting closer and closer to 100K subs and that silver button. Have a wonderful rest of your day and will email you tomorrow, found a new gem in London! 😊
I really appreciate that a lot, thank you ever so much Frank... I'll keep a look out for your email
100k reached Gary and son, huge congratulations! So very thrilled for you and absolutely deserved.
That’s so very kind thank you very much. Have a great weekend.
@@GaryEats You too, I hope you will be celebrating 🙂
#1: you didn't have to explain how you rate the food. We trust your expertise. #2: it is so wonderful you care enough to tell us why and how you do. #3: we love what you do and how you do it!!! That's why we come back to watch.!!! You are the BEST!!! ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
love your videos Gary, avid watcher from Dubai! You're such a nice bloke
That’s so kind and really appreciated and thank you for watching from Dubai
Gary, found your channel a few weeks ago. I've binged every single one of your videos, I find them so calming. Can't think of a more deserving person to hit that 100k. Ben
Thanks and welcome Ben, great to have you
100K !!! Well done and well deserved !!! Congratulations to all involved !!!
Thank you very much, James. That’s very kind of you. Have a great weekend.
I think the people who criticise your assessment and scoring process really don't get what your channel is about. Not all things are equal and that has to be key to what you do. You do it very well. That's why I stick around. You're fair, honest and objective. Even when the experience is bad, you look for something positive.
By the way, those spuds looked excellent.
I really appreciate your lovely comment, thank you
@@GaryEats You're entirely welcome.
Almost at 100k subscribers. Well earned success for you and your cameraman and the hard work you both put into your reviews. Have a great day everyone.
That’s so very kind to say thank you very much. You have a fantastic evening and see you soon
No bloke more deserving of 100k Gary my man.
You are lovely thank you
congrats on 100k🎉
Thank you very much, David. I appreciate you supporting the channel.
I love the crispy skins
Garlic butter totally transforms the baked potato with any topping
Sounds fantastic
Gary is the David Attenborough of Food reviews...Total class!
Keep it up Gary.
Now that is a big compliment thank you so much
Its easy and simple food, good value for a square meal
Completely agree!!
Combining chilli with baked potato is pure genius. Cheese just pulls it all together.
Well the idea has been around for 40 years
In the States I've been doing that for 50 Years!
It's tasty
Chilli on jackets has been a thing in UK decades and decades lol
Well done on reaching 100 thousand. You are the only one I watch on you tube. Do not change the format. It's perfect as it is.
That’s very kind, Lesley. I will always try and keep the same format. Have a fantastic weekend.
Let’s get Gary to 100k 🎉
I really appreciate that a lot, thank you ever so much
Will be at the 100k by next week.
👍👍👍
That's not true.
If you don't like the content, you don't have to be rude.. @@Mugenloo
I'm all for that he's the best reviewer by far 😊
Fair bit of variety aye, years ago my mum would make these spuds and we would put baked beans, bacon, ham and sour cream with grated cheese on top,
Watching these videos reminds me of those good old days,
I’ll have to remind mum about them and maybe hint to her to makes some 😂👌
I’m really pleased it brought you back some wonderful memories, Alexander, and please send my regards to your mum
Its so lovely to see a very humble kind man on You tube. I see Garrys reviews as a bible to good cusuine. We always follow your great vlogs and decide where we will eat. Thank you Garry for your hard work.
That’s a very kind comment, John. Thank you very much. It’s really appreciated.
Real food for a real price. Can't go wrong
I couldn’t agree more really well put
By way of sheer coincidence 🙃I made JPs for the family tonight after a long break. Great in the air fryer, slightly wiped with olive oil, salt, pepper and slightly spiked. 200 at 40 mins and nice crispy skin. Served with a quintessential tuna, chive, pepper mayonnaise salad…
Now what are the chances of that
100K Subscribers !!!!!!!!! Wow and huge congratulations to you both. I've been following you since about the 20K mark.
Super channel and you've both done this so so so well.
Onwards to a Million - go on, go on............let's give it a go !
That is a lovely comment. I really appreciate you supporting the channel for such a long time as always. Let’s give it a go.
Can’t argue with that for £4! Brilliant value for money with portion sizes like that! 👍
Couldn't agree more great value
"U ate potatoes?...I do do U?......How'du ate Um?........Shkin an all!".......You're a proper Paddy you are Gary!
I’ll try my best sometimes, Kieran 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😂
You've absolutely got to eat the skin. Nice and crisp, well seasoned, bloody lovely.
🎉🎉 Congratulations 🎉🎉
100,000 Subscribers
Well done Gary, & the famous Cameraman!!!!
No one deserves it more! 👏👏
Make sure to celebrate tonight.
Cheers 🍻
Why did you edit your comment? I literally saw the figure change to 100k. Do you really feel the need to be Top Dog? Somewhat childish!
Sorry Sharon, I noticed a gap between the words I wrote, so I edited it..
Of course I'm not top dog
Hope that explains it.@@sharoncox4776
@@TelThePower Please accept my apology Tel. I think we were all on tenterhooks waiting for the milestone to be reached. I just could not believe my eyes when I saw the transition from 99.9k to 100k. This was pure fluke. I was the childish one. Sorry. And you one gentleman too. Have a lovely day. Take care. Sharon
Of course I accept your apology 😊
Well done to you for being the 1st to congratulate Gary 👏
Have a wonderful weekend Sharon 😊@@sharoncox4776
@@TelThePower And you too Terry. Let's hope we get a special video to celebrate. x

Love your channel, little bit of feedback, when you say look at this, the camera man hesitation followed by the swoop in is a bit annoying, just pan down and get to the subject straight away and full frame it, rather then at the bottom of the screen, then you are pulling back too quickly for the viewer to have a good look at the food. Sorry to be picky as you know followed you for a very long time and a huge fan, but video filming and editing is my business. Camera man needs a few pointers ❤❤Potatoes looked lovely.
Thank you for the feedback. We get lots of feedback on how we should film it's quite dfficult to please everyone but I do take it on board and always appreciate feedback thank you
@@GaryEats I am wary online as people can get quite defensive and I would hate to lose my ability to follow you. Your reviews are excellent and interesting. It’s funny when you do things for a living you start to pick up on things.
Oh not at all, I’m always open to ways we can improve the videos and that’s what you’re trying to do so thank you
I’m looking forward to this,love a good jacket.Anniversary of my mums passing was yesterday so I won’t be online much until next week out of respect for my mum I shall be reflecting and remembering amazing memories Shall see you soon Gary I hope you enjoyed it All the best 🌟
I’m so sorry to hear that please take care and my thoughts and prayers are with you 🌹
Top man and spot on with the ratings, got to take things in to context
Thank you ever so much
Sitting, watching this while my, very late, dinner is cooking… absolutely mouthwatering food you presented there, Gary! If only I lived anywhere near Tamworth..
Keep up the good work. Just love the channel. 👍😬
Glad you enjoyed it
Nearly there Gary so I'll congratulate you in advance - as a viewer almost from the beginning it has been wonderful to see your channel grow so fast!
Very best wishes to you and the cameraman from Tasmania.
Thanks so much for supporting for so long, I remember all of your comments Anne
I love potato skins. Crispy is great but you just can’t go wrong. Great time as always
Absolutely fantastic Belinda
Congrats Gary….100k!!! Well done on having, in my opinion, the best food review channel there is. A note of special thanks to ‘The Cameraman’🎉 Major Milestone, onwards and upwards mate 👍🏻….As always, let’s give it a go!
That’s very kind to say, Virgil and thank you for recognising the cameraman
congratulations 100K subscribers. Yes, really pleased for you Gary. You truly do deserve the YT 100K award. Keep up the great content. One of the best channels around.

Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers! Thoroughly deserved, and keep up the great work!

My days Gary - what a fantastic portion on each spud & what terrific value for money all backed up with great taste. Quality food that will not break the bank. You couldn't ask for more !
I agree Robert it was amazing value 💯👌
Very humble and honest, loved this video fella!
Going to watch more now 👏
That is very kind to say thank you very much
I knew you were going to go 8 1/2 on this one. I just felt it. Love your channel, from the USofA. Keep up the great work. I really enjoyed your trip to Philadelphia to try a cheesesteak, I was born in South Philly about ten minutes from Pats Steaks. Loved that episode! Keep up the great work! 🙋🏻♂️👍
Thank you very much for watching and commenting Albert it’s really appreciated. Please take care and hopefully see you soon.🇺🇸🇺🇸
My favourite jacket would have almost leather-hard skin and lots of tuna mayonnaise, with a crunchy salad on the side.
This van looks like a real asset to Tamworth. Love that you try such different establishments!
Thank you Lucy, more to come!!
Yes yes yes 💐💐💐💐 congratulations Gary + Cameraman to 100k!!!
