This is why we watch you Gary. Not going over the top and trying to make a jacket potato something it’s not. See far too many reviews make out it’s the best thing they’ve ever eaten. Keep up the great honest content.
@@GaryEatsI feel like if spuds are all you do it doesn't take much to give each dish a lift and make it a bit more special. With the curry one they could have drizzled it with some raita, some chutney, some crispy fried onions or pickled onions, and a bit of fresh coriander and it would have been so much more interesting than your bog standard spud.
this, I cant stand some of the exaggerated reviewers that make out everything in the world is amazing to eat, when in reality its not...i stopped watching them. Gary keeps it real
I agree with you, Gary. The skin has to be crispy on a spud. £11 for a potato & some toppings is just ridiculous, even for London's standards. Anyway... it's a strange combination but I'd have prawns, crab meat, chicken curry & red onions on my jacket potato!! Fantastic review & congratulations on 200K subscribers!

Madhavyu: I think there are more Indian takeaway joints in the UK than fish and chip shops. Gary did a review of the tikka masala recently, in the place it was invented.
@@madhavyu True? I guess it all started with returning soldiers and families from India. I think they came back and found Victorian British food too bland.
Most "Indian" restaurants in the UK are actually owned by people of Bangladeshi origin, followed by Pakistanis. Actual Indian restaurants, like those owned by Hindus are less common, but there are some very good ones.
Congratulations on 200k (Almost), glad to see your channel growing, you deserve it. You've built a fantastic community with simple and honest content. Have a great weekend.
I don't think I can never get excited over a jacket potato, I'm more excited over the Channels milestone of 200k subscribers. Well done my friend , will continue to enjoy and encourage others to do so.
Found this channel a few hours ago, been watching nothing else since then. Great channel, entertaining and well produced. Wishing you more success for South Africa.
I really like those round serving containers, much more practical than nasty polystyrene boxes where everything spills over the edges. Cheese and beans for me all day long 😉 Great review, thank you both.
Impeccable timing as ever Gary. Cheese and Beans looked like a great spud but those prices 😬 I know it’s central London but the fact we’ve got to a point that £11 for a potato with a spoonful of topping is acceptable shows the world has gone mad! Have a great weekend
I believe you'll be the no1 food influencer in 1 year Your personality and your soul makes everything better And I'm not even in the UK, I'm from Brazil. But your personality makes me want to try all these foods
Not sure how they cook the potatoes there, but a thought: after cooking, and before cutting it open, how about like a two minute splash in a fryer? Maybe reduce (what I assume oven baking) cook time to account for it to prevent giving it that overdone/stale texture, but achieving maximum crisp? Am I being silly, or am I onto something?
Hello from British Columbia! Congratulations on making it to 200k! Your videos are so welcome as a break from hearing the news. Don’t forget to feed the cameraman 😊
Excellent episode as usual Gary. I cannot believe my eyes, you're almost at 200k! I started following at around 8k. The growth has been insane. Keep it up my friend, I wish you all the best. Here's to 1 million!
Gary, theres not many people who can engage others so easily whilst simply eating food on camera. You clearly can because I keep on watching 😂 Love it.
Loved the container holds everything without spilling. Sp much better than the usual hinged box. Cheese n beans looked good. Even for central London the prices are a bit steep. Thanks Gary and you almost got the cameraman to speak
Great show as always! It all looked jolly delicious, and can't criticize the price pull things being considered. And I have recently introduced my wife to the joys of baked potato, baked beans and Cumberland sausages, she is a convert!
Hi Gary. The spuds look great and you do get a very generous amount for the price. Here in Australia, you pay double of what you have paid. Here in Tasmania you get one spud cut in half filled with Sour cream, cheese and topping of your choice. You do have a choice of about 10 toppings. Gary, I wouldn't complain about the prices in England. You get twice the amount for less than we pay out here. Anyway, great post, great work. Love the channel. If you ever get the chance to travel to Australia 🇦🇺 especially if you are going to visit Tasmania, I do have a spare room. It's a big and lovely home. Alex (my son) and myself would love to host you for free. Yes free. Anyway,it just a thought. Think about Australia. Maybe 'give it a go.' Take care mate. Cheers Richard from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
You surely can't be serious when you say that you'd pay double for half the amount in Australia. Remember, those prices are pounds sterling, not Australian dollars.
Hi Gary! Congratulations on hitting 200K subscribers. I saw your lovely community post & wanted to comment there first, before on this review. A jacket potato with a variety of toppings isn't something I eat or would ever buy for myself, so in rare form for me, there's not much I can say about it. 😅 It would certainly fill you up I imagine, but such a heavy & overly gloopy meal. That's the type of thing I would prefer to make at home myself as a small side dish, but with crispy potato & better quality toppings. Congratulations again to you & Mr CM. It's so well deserved for the best food review channel on TH-cam 💙🥳💙
Gary , when I saw the prices, I thought ' blimey ' £9 -£11 for a spud , then I saw the portions , wow , they are enormous, each one would do me for at least two meals , crikey . The fact that there's a queue outside shows that a) there's a market for jacket spuds and b) they must be good. Great review again and congrats on the upcoming 200k , roll on 250k .
Gary I’m a new subscriber and your videos are such a comfort to me! Please continue to stay positive yet honest, it is very refreshing to say the least
We have a Spudman. The queue goes up the road and around the corner and when he's out, he's out. Sells enough to earn a living and that enough. Pretty much like old style pie and mash shops, they would close early once they'd earned a crust.
Bit late to the party Gary been busy with work but may I just say I am so so chuffed you’ve hit the 200k mark, you and your son are the salt of the earth and you deserve all the success. Said it before and I’ll say it again feel blessed to have been on the journey from the start! It’ll not be long and you’ll be at 500k
Good detailed honest review with very fair comparisons. Glad there’s some competition for the mainstream fast food outlets. Good luck with the 200k it can’t be far off now. Thanks for producing great content. All the best Pete 👍
Excellent review Gary. I see why there is a queue, large portions. I remember your Spudman review, Spudbros look's just as good. Can’t wait for your 200K subscribers, you need to do a special restaurant review to celebrate the success of your channel.
His videos are world-class his dedication to his craft is amazing Gary's on the road to 1 million next year it's going to happen has to happen because he's such a great cool outgoing guy people have really warmed to him
Brilliant achievement Garry and cameraman. Nearly 200k subscribers. Another great and honest review. Good luck to the next 200k. I wish you both a fantastic weekend 😊
Gary you made it!!! Been keeping an eye on it changes from 199 to the 200K - am other the moon for you and Son. I know Maria, Tel and Erin, will be so thrilled for you too! Well done my Leo friend. xx
Sharon, Thank you, always so kind! Thrilled... hell yeah 🎉 It's totally incredible, I said In my comment that Gary had 100k subscribers on the 26th June. Amazing how the channel is growing at such a rapid pace. I might even have a beer, to celebrate his success, any excuse 😂🍻 Take care 😊x
Thank you so very very much, Sharon, it’s everyone you have mentioned and many many more who has helped create a wonderful channel including yourself xx
Hi Sharon! I said to Maria just yesterday that I wanted to keep an eye out for you in the comments & to see how you're doing. 🩷 It's so nice to see Gary & son hit the 200K subscriber mark. Their numbers continue to rise steadily & this truly is such an enjoyable channel. Of everything I've ever come across on TH-cam, I only have two favourites, Gary being one of them. I really hope you're keeping well & things are good. 💐🩷
@@Erin-Christine Been thinking about you pet. Gary has so many comments that it is difficult you find all 3 of you, I hope you are keeping well down under and enjoying your summer weather - it is freezing over here and just had the most awful storm all over the Uk and Ireland. It . really is mind blowing what Father and Son have achieved and another 1k added since yesterday. Take care pet and no doubt you are still awake - a night owl like me. xxx
Hi mate. Almost there ... 200k subscribers 🥳. I just love catching up with you and seeing what you're both up to. I agree the potatoes were nothing more than a comfort filler. Shame they don't elevate it by lifting the flavour ... so simple and yet oft forgotten. Love you and congratulations ❤
Wow Gary hitting 200k subscribers ( probably in the next couple of hours). As for the jacket potatoes they’re not a thing here in Australia. I have had them while living in the UK, but the size of those is absolutely massive and I think great value for money. Always hanging out for the notification when you post. Love love your channel 🥰❤️🇦🇺
Congratulations on cracking 200000 subscribers, Gary. A testament to your personality and charm. I predicted you'd reach that overnight, and I was right! Keep on doing what you do because we love your honesty and love for food. Keep on "giving it a go" xx ❤❤
TBF i use to have a jacket potato with beans and cheese in the winter months 20 years ago when i was working in central London from a local cafe and it was about £5 -£6 then. Congratulations on 200.000 dubs Subscribers. Very well deserved ❤
Remember the Spudulike chain of pubs which went bust in 2019 , loved their cheese and bacon skins , let’s hope these Brothers stick around and don’t try getting too big to quick ..nice one again Gary 👌
200,000 subscribers. I'm an early viewer first signing in at 70 thousand not so very long ago. A tip of the hat to you Gary AND the camerman. I eagerly click to open each episode. Keep up the good work!
That sounds like a fun place to eat, if one happens to be in London anyway. The ingredients of that third one impressed me the most - and I do appreciate a good cheese pull! Great job reviewing!! Yes, you should go over that 200K mark!!
I've been here since you had 2,000 followers when, one day, you popped up on my feed. By far the best food review channel, and I'm including TV and satellite as well.
Each baked spud was massive, Gary! Looked very appealing so no wonder there was a queue at Spudbros when you got there. I think the cheese and beans one was probably the best as the last one looked too gooey.
Always a joy to watch your videos Gary...whether it is a Michelin Star restaurant, way beyond my financial means... or a pop-up shop selling baked spuds!... Allowing for the location, the potatoes looked fair value...and nice to see some veggies in the sauces!... and good, simple , warming , comfort food!.... and an extra special congratulations to you and camera-lad for being so close to the 200k subs... you both deserve it!
Dearest Gary and Son. I dont know if you've heard of a type of clematis called the montana..... It's nickname is called " mile a minute" and once established theres no stopping its growth . You are like this "mile a minute" .... You've grown so fast in a year and will continue to, that nothing can stop you both . I'm so very happy for you reaching 200k so quickly and I know it will continue to grow from strength to strength. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 All the best to you Our Gary and Son. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I hope you have a super day sweet x😊
Thank you so much lovely Maria and thank you for supporting the channel for so long and keeping me motivated. You along with many others always brighten my day with your comments and it means the world. The cameraman is also very appreciative! I have not heard of it but thank you so much. Have a superb weekend!
@GaryEats awww you're both very welcome Our Gary . Those that support you is totally deserved because you work so hard and make us laugh too. I can honestly say that you're the most genuine food reviewer on TH-cam for sure. May your channel go from strength to strength. Thank you again and wishing you a lovely weekend too sweet x 😊
That is so True. When I do it at home I like to use a Dutch Oven and Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Peppercorn the exterior to get that perfect texture and crunch and flavor.
Congratulations Gary on the 200K subs. Very well deserved as you always give entertaining and fair reviews with a touch of humour. And well done to your cameraman (son) for his excellent filming.
Hi Gary & Camera-son. Aw, fellas, this is what I made this afternoon for my wife before I went to work, and she was getting ready for her work's Christmas do. Baked jacket spuds! Baked 'em with lots of salt & some oil; scooped out the insides, cut it with lots of butter & cheese and bacon, then threw 'em back in the oven, topped with some 4-day matured bolognaise ragu - and even more cheese! I cut some IKEA smoked-salmon with Philedelphia and dill as an optional topping for tmoz's leftover baked spuds. The skins do need to be crispy, tho', for sure. It's the time of year for this kind of comfort food! Good objective reflections on your overall experience towards the end, pal, as always. Love, Si (Claire still getting steaming on her staff-do 😂)
I’m just casually witnessing you gain what is essentially 1k subscribers a day; definitely a healthy, consistent growth which I’m certain will continue
I think that is a decent portion for £9. I prefer my Jacket potato to have crispy skins ❤Glad I am not the only one. I am glad you shared with the cameraman. I am going to watch some of your older video's over Christmas. I hope this video pushes you over 200k, Have a great weekend Gary.
For me there is a difference between a Jacket Potato and a Baked Potato. Jacket can be cooked in an Oven or a Microwave. However a Baked Potato has to be cooked in an oven. I do much prefer the Oven variety as they cook slowly and give a much better flavour. Your presentation was excellent as ever, Tat you two could eat all that food between you shows your hearty appetite and resolve not to waste food. Preston prices show what a steal this meal is. My favourite has to be Chilli and Cheese and if I knew in advance that this was on the cards, would carry a bottle of hot sauce to 'liven' it up.
Your right Gary. In Central London nothings cheap, especially food. It's not exactly that the vendors are greedy. It's all about overheads. I recently went to a Christmas Market on the South Coast and the food prices were very high. One spud seller was charging £14.50 for a potato with a choice of filling. Although I will say that it could be easily shared between 2 people as it was huge and the topping portions were really loaded. The guy on the stall was great. He even gave us an extra box so we could split it between us. Let's face it, you can't beat a good old baked potato on a chilly day, with your favourite topping 🥰🥰.
Thanks for the new video, Gary. Awaiting a new date for my operation as it needs to be at a bigger hospital. Its a big surgery I need. This is a difficult time of year as it's my late great Mum's birthday this Sunday and it's Christmas as well. Love to you and your cameraman, mate xxx.
They looked good, and I think it's fair to highlight just how much more rent is in london. Almost inevitable, you'll be 200k subs by Christmas.... what a year Gary.
I've been watching all your videos lately, without subscribing. Because I don't really subscribe to channels. But realised if I keep watching you, I should do. So I have. You deserve many subs dude.
Same as that bro,I don't do the whole subscribe thing,but im happy to make an exception with Garry's channel,the reason being that he is a 💯 genuine guy! God bless
Good job. Subs cost nothing. Subscribers get the videos hot off the press and it is away to show you are a fan. Gary can see who his fans are, who watched his uploads. It's immensely important for a content creator to have a strong subscription base in terms of revenue, the logarithm and so on.
Hey Gary! Great lunch. Suggestion for spudman sausage and or bacon or steak with eggs Another stuffing cranberry and turkey with gravy!! Wheels are turning! Love spuds! Have a great weekend
Jaysis Gaz i dunno about you but I thought those spuds were bangin! You know me, I’m always complaining about the prices but that’s not expensive. One of them would fill you. Yes London prices so it’s got to be taken into consideration. I’d be happy with any of them 😂. Bloody hell you nearly got 🎥 man to speak! Garry you can’t do that, he’s the stig. We want to know but we don’t at the same time. Well at least we know he’s a male cause he’s your son but let’s leave it there. I actually emailed you earlier today telling you to stay safe because we’re having a weather emergency. Storm Darragh. Yet there’s you complaining about the cold? God help us. 👍
Thanks Gary, I’m with you on crispy , well done potato skin. That looks like a hefty lunch but wish spud bros good luck in soho, decent prices for that part of the world. Great to see they’re using ( I think?) bamboo or compostable serving bowls, so many places dishing plastic which doesn’t get recycled in central London Looking forward to your next video. Jamie
Hi Gary my go to potato is a large Maris Piper or King Edwards baked till the skin goes crispy then a tin of Stagg Dynamite Chilli poured over it perfect to warm your cockles in these winter months!
Good review for a new business Gary. I’d be happy with one of those spuds for lunch! Congratulations to you boys too for 200k subs🎉🎉🎉 much deserved and there will be more! X😘
Good review as always Gary, they all looked pretty good to me and good value. Well done with your subscribers, you both deserve them. Love your videos ❤❤
200K Coming Up! Early Congratulations! I made a Jacket Potato with Scrambled Eggs & Cheese for Breakfast this Morning! Garlic Butter on the Potato,Eggs on top!
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. I am traveling to London for the first time in April and seeing your food reviews is really helpful
@ i’m a little fed up of review channels that gloss over and give 9’s and 9.5’s to pure rubbish a review channel should be honest and that’s what i find with your channel every time
I love potatoes in any form, but especially baked potatoes (jacketed). The dishes looked absolutely delicious. I think that they were worth the price. The area where you were filming was so festive for the holidays. Good luck with reaching 200k...you and cameraman deserve it! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
I feed my family here and it will cost us $154 to feed us 7..... It costs $4.50AUD for 1kg of potatos - $1, 500g for the tuna they use - coleslaw $1..... sooooooooo please tell me now how that is good value?
$6.50 i could feed my entire family and still have left overs of the exact same thing.....Yet you have no problem if i pay $154 for the same thing and they make $147.50 profit from just my family..........
I like a good jacket potato as well, when you take into account the location and the overheads they are paying then the price is going to be more expensive, that is very kind and we have reached the target because of subscribers like you ❤️🇺🇸

A farce?! When was the last time you rented a catering establishment. Rent, utilities, business rates… if anything it is the council that is a farce!
I spent 35 years doing exactly that including in London, it is a farce how much places charge now
Looks like the cheaper ones were great at £9 each..... 😊

Great job Gary and Son .

Great review again and congrats on the upcoming 200k , roll on 250k .
Thank you very much, John. That’s very much appreciated
Gary I’m a new subscriber and your videos are such a comfort to me! Please continue to stay positive yet honest, it is very refreshing to say the least
That’s very kind and than’ you for watching and commenting
His videos are like a warm duvet on a winter's day
Great review Gary and cameraman and congratulations on almost reaching 200k! So well deserved. Now I’m hungry and am craving a jacket potato.
That’s very kind, thank you very much 🇺🇸❤️
Get the bubbly out Gary 200k on its way well deserved
Thank you very much Val
I suggest fish and chips and champagne, Joanna Lumley style to celebrate. I remember Jeffrey Archer liked this combo for his parties too.
@@clairedoylebooks that does sound good
We have a Spudman. The queue goes up the road and around the corner and when he's out, he's out. Sells enough to earn a living and that enough. Pretty much like old style pie and mash shops, they would close early once they'd earned a crust.
Good stuff Peter!
Oh, and if you were a regular and arrived too late, you knew what you were missing 😏
Bit late to the party Gary been busy with work but may I just say I am so so chuffed you’ve hit the 200k mark, you and your son are the salt of the earth and you deserve all the success. Said it before and I’ll say it again feel blessed to have been on the journey from the start! It’ll not be long and you’ll be at 500k
Thank you personally Matt so much for supporting the channel 👍👍
Gary great content as usual you are one of the highlights of my 90 minutes evening you tube viewings.
That’s very kind to say, thank you
Good detailed honest review with very fair comparisons. Glad there’s some competition for the mainstream fast food outlets. Good luck with the 200k it can’t be far off now. Thanks for producing great content. All the best Pete 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Pete
Excellent review Gary. I see why there is a queue, large portions. I remember your Spudman review, Spudbros look's just as good. Can’t wait for your 200K subscribers, you need to do a special restaurant review to celebrate the success of your channel.
Good call! I think it was the same level to be honest. Thank you, I really appreciate that. Have a lovely weekend!
This man always makes my day,thanks Gary
Thank you very much my friend
His videos are world-class his dedication to his craft is amazing Gary's on the road to 1 million next year it's going to happen has to happen because he's such a great cool outgoing guy people have really warmed to him
Brilliant achievement Garry and cameraman. Nearly 200k subscribers. Another great and honest review. Good luck to the next 200k. I wish you both a fantastic weekend 😊
I really appreciate your lovely comment, thank you John and you too
Congrats on the growth of your channel. You and the camera man are on a roll. I never miss a review. 🎉
That’s very kind, thank you very much, Cynthia
Gary you made it!!! Been keeping an eye on it changes from 199 to the 200K - am other the moon for you and Son. I know Maria, Tel and Erin, will be so thrilled for you too! Well done my Leo friend. xx
@@sharoncox4776 we sure are darling it's wonderful to see.
Have a relaxed weekend sweetheart xxxx 💖🪷💐🌷💖
Sharon,
Thank you, always so kind!
Thrilled... hell yeah 🎉
It's totally incredible, I said In my comment that Gary had 100k subscribers on the 26th June. Amazing how the channel is growing at such a rapid pace.
I might even have a beer, to celebrate his success, any excuse 😂🍻
Take care 😊x
Thank you so very very much, Sharon, it’s everyone you have mentioned and many many more who has helped create a wonderful channel including yourself xx
Hi Sharon! I said to Maria just yesterday that I wanted to keep an eye out for you in the comments & to see how you're doing. 🩷
It's so nice to see Gary & son hit the 200K subscriber mark. Their numbers continue to rise steadily & this truly is such an enjoyable channel. Of everything I've ever come across on TH-cam, I only have two favourites, Gary being one of them.
I really hope you're keeping well & things are good. 💐🩷
@@Erin-Christine Been thinking about you pet. Gary has so many comments that it is difficult you find all 3 of you, I hope you are keeping well down under and enjoying your summer weather - it is freezing over here and just had the most awful storm all over the Uk and Ireland. It . really is mind blowing what Father and Son have achieved and another 1k added since yesterday. Take care pet and no doubt you are still awake - a night owl like me. xxx
Hi mate. Almost there ... 200k subscribers 🥳. I just love catching up with you and seeing what you're both up to. I agree the potatoes were nothing more than a comfort filler. Shame they don't elevate it by lifting the flavour ... so simple and yet oft forgotten. Love you and congratulations ❤
That’s very kind and thank you so much for supporting the channel
Wow Gary hitting 200k subscribers ( probably in the next couple of hours). As for the jacket potatoes they’re not a thing here in Australia. I have had them while living in the UK, but the size of those is absolutely massive and I think great value for money. Always hanging out for the notification when you post. Love love your channel 🥰❤️🇦🇺
They are a thing in Melbourne. Spud Bar has great options if there's one near you.
@ I live in Adelaide and we don’t seem to have one here-or not that I’ve heard of
@@louisebruce1863what a shame. It's healthy and reasonably priced. Maybe check their website to see if there's a suitable location near you?
Thank you so much Louise xx
@@GaryEats your very welcome always 🥰
Congratulations on cracking 200000 subscribers, Gary. A testament to your personality and charm. I predicted you'd reach that overnight, and I was right! Keep on doing what you do because we love your honesty and love for food. Keep on "giving it a go" xx ❤❤
Thank you personally so much ❤️❤️xxxx
TBF i use to have a jacket potato with beans and cheese in the winter months 20 years ago when i was working in central London from a local cafe and it was about £5 -£6 then. Congratulations on 200.000 dubs Subscribers. Very well deserved ❤
Thank you personally so very much ❤️❤️
i predicted 200k subs by Christmas, i was right, well done Gary and camera man son x God bless you, Happy Christmas xx
It just happened today, Harry, thank you so much for supporting the channel and happy Christmas to you too xx
Just seen that you have reached 200 thousand. Congratulations to you both. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Remember the Spudulike chain of pubs which went bust in 2019 , loved their cheese and bacon skins , let’s hope these Brothers stick around and don’t try getting too big to quick ..nice one again Gary 👌
I really liked them as well Steve, I think James Martin has a branch with one in Manchester
I had a spudulike in Newquay 1987,it was the only one I knew of back then.
What happened to spudulike?
There used to be one in Notting Hill Gate in the late 80s ….
@@nomsantuli6023 people didnt like
Wow! 200k now!!!
Well deserved you two!
Proud to have been part of your journey!
Thank you very much for supporting the channel for such a long time
Portion looked great Gary. Many thanks for this one.
Have a nice weekend.
I really appreciate that. Have a superb weekend
200k lets give it a go! Another great video Gary 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so very much
200,000 subscribers. I'm an early viewer first signing in at 70 thousand not so very long ago. A tip of the hat to you Gary AND the camerman. I eagerly click to open each episode. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for still supporting the channel. I really appreciate it Blake.
That sounds like a fun place to eat, if one happens to be in London anyway. The ingredients of that third one impressed me the most - and I do appreciate a good cheese pull!
Great job reviewing!! Yes, you should go over that 200K mark!!
Thank you so much we hit that mark today, that’s down to people like yourself who have supported the channel so long
I've been here since you had 2,000 followers when, one day, you popped up on my feed. By far the best food review channel, and I'm including TV and satellite as well.
Thank you very much for supporting the channel for such a long time
Congratulations on the 200,000!!!
Well deserved!
Thank you very much Pete
Can’t believe you’re about time hit 200k subs mate! Been here for a while and love to see it 🎉
Thank you very much for supporting the channel for such a long time
First impressions, I love that adorable wee spud on the Christmas tree 😀🥔
The cameraman spotted it and had to record it!!
Each baked spud was massive, Gary! Looked very appealing so no wonder there was a queue at Spudbros when you got there. I think the cheese and beans one was probably the best as the last one looked too gooey.
Yep, huge!! Great stuff
Always a joy to watch your videos Gary...whether it is a Michelin Star restaurant, way beyond my financial means... or a pop-up shop selling baked spuds!... Allowing for the location, the potatoes looked fair value...and nice to see some veggies in the sauces!... and good, simple , warming , comfort food!.... and an extra special congratulations to you and camera-lad for being so close to the 200k subs... you both deserve it!
Wonderful, thank you so much
Dearest Gary and Son.
I dont know if you've heard of a type of clematis called the montana..... It's nickname is called " mile a minute" and once established theres no stopping its growth .
You are like this "mile a minute" .... You've grown so fast in a year and will continue to, that nothing can stop you both .
I'm so very happy for you reaching 200k so quickly and I know it will continue to grow from strength to strength.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All the best to you Our Gary and Son.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
I hope you have a super day sweet x😊
Thank you so much lovely Maria and thank you for supporting the channel for so long and keeping me motivated. You along with many others always brighten my day with your comments and it means the world. The cameraman is also very appreciative!
I have not heard of it but thank you so much. Have a superb weekend!
@GaryEats awww you're both very welcome Our Gary .
Those that support you is totally deserved because you work so hard and make us laugh too.
I can honestly say that you're the most genuine food reviewer on TH-cam for sure.
May your channel go from strength to strength.
Thank you again and wishing you a lovely weekend too sweet x 😊
I agree on a crispy skin , they cook them in foil so less crunch. 👍
Yes indeed!
That is so True. When I do it at home I like to use a Dutch Oven and Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Peppercorn the exterior to get that perfect texture and crunch and flavor.
Skins best part for me has to be crisp and no sauce touched it lol
The meals looked very comforting to eat. Thank you for an honest review. 🌻🌻
Thank you very much, Sally
Gary Eats channel is the first thing I tune into to begin to unwind from work.
That’s very kind to say thank you
Another fantastic review
Also congratulations on 200k subscribers
Yours is the best Channel by far
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations Gary on the 200K subs. Very well deserved as you always give entertaining and fair reviews with a touch of humour. And well done to your cameraman (son) for his excellent filming.
Thank you very much, Dave and thank you for all your support on the channel
Hi Gary & Camera-son. Aw, fellas, this is what I made this afternoon for my wife before I went to work, and she was getting ready for her work's Christmas do. Baked jacket spuds! Baked 'em with lots of salt & some oil; scooped out the insides, cut it with lots of butter & cheese and bacon, then threw 'em back in the oven, topped with some 4-day matured bolognaise ragu - and even more cheese!
I cut some IKEA smoked-salmon with Philedelphia and dill as an optional topping for tmoz's leftover baked spuds. The skins do need to be crispy, tho', for sure.
It's the time of year for this kind of comfort food!
Good objective reflections on your overall experience towards the end, pal, as always.
Love, Si (Claire still getting steaming on her staff-do 😂)
That sounded absolutely wonderful. I hope you both have a wonderful weekend as well.
I’m just casually witnessing you gain what is essentially 1k subscribers a day; definitely a healthy, consistent growth which I’m certain will continue
That’s very kind to say, thank you, Jack
I think that is a decent portion for £9. I prefer my Jacket potato to have crispy skins ❤Glad I am not the only one. I am glad you shared with the cameraman. I am going to watch some of your older video's over Christmas. I hope this video pushes you over 200k, Have a great weekend Gary.
That is very kind, thank you very much and we hit that today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well, Henry
@@GaryEats Congratulations and Thank you
As alwayssss yet another quality review gary, always entertaining and honest, superb, what a great guy.
Thank you so much
Not far off 200K subs Gaz. Well deserved. Absolutely love your stuff. 🙂
We hit it today, thank you so very much, Melissa
@GaryEats Brilliant. Well done! 🙂
Hey Gary, congrats on 200k 😀, I just love your reviews, hope you both have a wonderful weekend 😀😀
That’s so very kind thank you very much, Angus, I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well. Stay safe in the weather.
For me there is a difference between a Jacket Potato and a Baked Potato. Jacket can be cooked in an Oven or a Microwave. However a Baked Potato has to be cooked in an oven. I do much prefer the Oven variety as they cook slowly and give a much better flavour.
Your presentation was excellent as ever, Tat you two could eat all that food between you shows your hearty appetite and resolve not to waste food. Preston prices show what a steal this meal is. My favourite has to be Chilli and Cheese and if I knew in advance that this was on the cards, would carry a bottle of hot sauce to 'liven' it up.
That is a very, very good point and one I should’ve said so thank you very much for helping as always Conor 👍
Your right Gary. In Central London nothings cheap, especially food. It's not exactly that the vendors are greedy. It's all about overheads.
I recently went to a Christmas Market on the South Coast and the food prices were very high. One spud seller was charging £14.50 for a potato with a choice of filling. Although I will say that it could be easily shared between 2 people as it was huge and the topping portions were really loaded. The guy on the stall was great. He even gave us an extra box so we could split it between us.
Let's face it, you can't beat a good old baked potato on a chilly day, with your favourite topping 🥰🥰.
The overheads in London are absolutely ridiculous Gerry
Great video Gary nearly 200.000 subscribers what a achievement well done
🎉
Congratulations on the 200k. Well deserved. Love jacket potatoes so really enjoyed your review. Thank u so much for all of your reviews.
Thank you! Have a lovely weekend Paula
Thanks for the new video, Gary. Awaiting a new date for my operation as it needs to be at a bigger hospital. Its a big surgery I need. This is a difficult time of year as it's my late great Mum's birthday this Sunday and it's Christmas as well. Love to you and your cameraman, mate xxx.
The depression I have plus cerebral palsy.
Thank you Paul, please take care of yourself and I hope you are coping xxxx
@GaryEats: Cheers, mate. Appreciate it xxx.
the best of luck.feel better soon❤
@@paulc1553so sorry❤
They looked good, and I think it's fair to highlight just how much more rent is in london. Almost inevitable, you'll be 200k subs by Christmas.... what a year Gary.
Agreed. I really appreciate your lovely comment, thank you
Gary - Greetings from Gerald from Germany ! Your Channal ist well recognised in Germany and has many followers here. U are the Best! I Love GB!
That is very kind to say, and I will be over to see you next year
Cheese, Onion and Bacon is my favorite spud filling. With mayo, a little salad cream and american mustard for the sauce with some chives and pepper.
That sounds absolutely wonderful
I've been watching all your videos lately, without subscribing. Because I don't really subscribe to channels. But realised if I keep watching you, I should do. So I have. You deserve many subs dude.
Wow wow wow thank you so much for the kind words
Same as that bro,I don't do the whole subscribe thing,but im happy to make an exception with Garry's channel,the reason being that he is a 💯 genuine guy!
God bless
Good job.
Subs cost nothing.
Subscribers get the videos hot off the press and it is away to show you are a fan. Gary can see who his fans are, who watched his uploads. It's immensely important for a content creator to have a strong subscription base in terms of revenue, the logarithm and so on.
I don’t agree to the people saying I watch but don’t subscribe, this is a business and it costs you nothing! Get a fucking grip
Hey Gary! Great lunch.
Suggestion for spudman sausage and or bacon or steak with eggs
Another stuffing cranberry and turkey with gravy!!
Wheels are turning! Love spuds!
Have a great weekend
That’s a wonderful suggestion and you have a wonderful weekend as well, Wendy
Almost at 200K, close but no cigar. You be there next video. Jolly good show Gary.
That’s really flew up. 100K only seemed like it was a couple of months ago!
Thank you very much Patrick, I still cannot believe how quick time has gone
Jaysis Gaz i dunno about you but I thought those spuds were bangin! You know me, I’m always complaining about the prices but that’s not expensive. One of them would fill you. Yes London prices so it’s got to be taken into consideration. I’d be happy with any of them 😂. Bloody hell you nearly got 🎥 man to speak! Garry you can’t do that, he’s the stig. We want to know but we don’t at the same time. Well at least we know he’s a male cause he’s your son but let’s leave it there.
I actually emailed you earlier today telling you to stay safe because we’re having a weather emergency. Storm Darragh. Yet there’s you complaining about the cold? God help us. 👍
Thanks Gary, I’m with you on crispy , well done potato skin. That looks like a hefty lunch but wish spud bros good luck in soho, decent prices for that part of the world. Great to see they’re using ( I think?) bamboo or compostable serving bowls, so many places dishing plastic which doesn’t get recycled in central London Looking forward to your next video. Jamie
That is a really lovely comment thank you very much, Jamie
Hi Gary my go to potato is a large Maris Piper or King Edwards baked till the skin goes crispy then a tin of Stagg Dynamite Chilli poured over it perfect to warm your cockles in these winter months!
That sounds absolutely wonderful, Danny
Good review for a new business Gary. I’d be happy with one of those spuds for lunch! Congratulations to you boys too for 200k subs🎉🎉🎉 much deserved and there will be more! X😘
That’s very kind to say thank you very much, Carol xx
Good review as always Gary, they all looked pretty good to me and good value. Well done with your subscribers, you both deserve them. Love your videos ❤❤
I really appreciate your lovely comment, thank you xx
Often hit and miss with jacketed potato, sometimes the skin is hard and chewy. 200k subscribers well done Gary 😊
That’s very kind, thank you, Greg
200K Coming Up! Early Congratulations! I made a Jacket Potato with Scrambled Eggs & Cheese for Breakfast this Morning! Garlic Butter on the Potato,Eggs on top!
That is very kind to say thank you, James
Hi Gary ! So looking forward too seeing 200.000 roll around ! ❤ BTW Mrs P would call that spud dish her Amuse Bouche 😂
😁 that is brilliant Petrus and thank you
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. I am traveling to London for the first time in April and seeing your food reviews is really helpful
I really appreciate that - thank you so much
200k subs and so well deserved! Congrats Gary and let’s take it to 300k! 🎉
Thank you very, very much
what a review
honest and straight to the point..
Top man Ste, thank you mate
@ i’m a little fed up of review channels that gloss over and give 9’s and 9.5’s to pure rubbish a review channel should be honest and that’s what i find with your channel every time
Its nearly there Gary &Son.❤ 😊
Nearly there, so close!!
@GaryEats it shall be you and your sons best Christmas 🎄 present 🎁. seasons greetings.wishing you and yours all the best .
I love potatoes in any form, but especially baked potatoes (jacketed). The dishes looked absolutely delicious. I think that they were worth the price. The area where you were filming was so festive for the holidays. Good luck with reaching 200k...you and cameraman deserve it! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
$22 australian dollars for a jacket potatoe with the cheapest canned tuna and coleslaw? Are you insane, how is that a good price?
I feed my family here and it will cost us $154 to feed us 7..... It costs $4.50AUD for 1kg of potatos - $1, 500g for the tuna they use - coleslaw $1..... sooooooooo please tell me now how that is good value?
$6.50 i could feed my entire family and still have left overs of the exact same thing.....Yet you have no problem if i pay $154 for the same thing and they make $147.50 profit from just my family..........
@@Jadoo800it’s NOT in Australia 😂
I like a good jacket potato as well, when you take into account the location and the overheads they are paying then the price is going to be more expensive, that is very kind and we have reached the target because of subscribers like you ❤️🇺🇸
Just stumbled across your channel and now I can’t stop watching. Cheers Gary 😁
Thank you Daniel
MAN ALIVE Gary, what better way to approach the 200K mark than with the humble spud. You legend. ❤
Thank you very much, Nick
