Thanks Audrey!! I look forward to the day when we can get together and share a meal (cameras or not)! 😃

Next time you're in town, the pizza place many of us locals prefer is 2 Guys Pizza Pie...soooooo good!!!

[@dylandamn1]

Thank you! Going there next month!

[@rickvenuto8944]

Absolutely the best pizza I've had outside Brooklyn, NY ever.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

That is some panty dropping pie thanks for the recommendation.

[@seagraverider]

You missed out on two guys pies it’s must try

The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to!!!!! This was absolutely stunning to watch. Greate work, great edit...

I couldn't have said it better myself! 🙏 Thanks for tuning in!!

It's spelled cholla but pronounced choya.

2Guys>Pie for the People

[@CoachK-Dub]

The one time I ever went to Pappy and Harriet's was one of my worst dining experiences ever. Service was bad, food was bad, price was awful. It was crowded. The chairs sucked. Also does this guy go out of his way to mispronounce as many words as possible? I must seem like a grump but I promise I'm not lol

[@richardl1644]

Love JT I miss a lot of the food things since I usually spend all day hiking and watch the sunset. Definitely will make an effort for the pizza if they’re still open when I leave the park!

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

Oh my, those jalapeño poppers and ribs are mouth-watering! And I'm craving pizza now. 🤤

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, can't go wrong with some good 'ol Jalapeño Poppers!!

[@mojojim6458]

As always seeing you at a food place biting into your meal is a pleasure.

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, it is my true passion in life! 😆

Gotta learn to pronounce things correctly otherwise you lose respect of locals and viewers

[@mreppen1]

Used to do a lot of business at the local schools there. Of all the desert towns in So Cal Yucca and Joshua Tree have the best food options.

Good to know! Any other recommendations I missed for next time?

[@pratikbabhulkar2295]

I think this episode had the most diverse food trail 🤩. That bison burger 🍔 looked delicious 😍. That reaction though at the end after you had the pizza 💯💯😄. You know a guy liked the pizza when he dances after eating it 😁😁.

How do you eat all that food. I am obese and I can’t eat all that.

Can’t concentrate on the food. Gareth is so distracting with his handsome self. 😛

Right?...So cool

[@landonsmith4338]

Hi neighbor!

[@ampwoolf9539]

You hit a lot of the best places! But you definitely missed out on La Copine. La Copine is easily as good or better than Pappys, just a different vibe :)

[@OdettaBOOOM]

I tried Pie for the People at Coachella 2012.. never forget, still daydream about their caramelized onions... one of the best pizzas I've had. First time seeing their actual business.. will definitely visit if I ever go to Joshua Tree!

[@davidpggarrett]

Fell in live with Joshua Tree Park this summer. You've inspired me to come back! And those breakfasts look pretty incredible!!!! Pizza not quite as much but, hey, I live in Italy 😂

Anyone who’s grown up in the desert has experienced those “fuzzy little loofahs”. 🌵 😆

[@AussieAngeS]

That breakfast looked absolutely delicious 😍😍🤤

Breakfast was on point! 👌

[@andrewcordle2424]

I am always baffled by the amount of food you eat in these videos yet you look perfectly fit. What are you, about 30 years old? So you haven’t had time for your metabolism to slow down yet but I could never eat so many calories in a day 😱 May you always continue to have good health and to keep these wonderful videos coming !!! 🙏👍

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

Yeah thought he was about to bite off his finger with the pizza. I vividly remember being able to stay slender eating what I wanted. Ah, youth. Kind of assumed he filmed these various meals over several days, but you never know 😉

[@andrewcordle2424]

Well I had not thought of that but the video is presented as a one day event and we see him joyfully downing all that food... 😱😇

[@GarethLeonard]

Haha, thank you very much Andrew. I try to work up an appetite between each meal with a long hike and exploration! 😀 and yes, these meals are over the course of two days (one breakfast, lunch and dinner each day) so not really too much in this video - not like the recent Tacos, Russia or Philippines videos!!

[@andrewcordle2424]

@@GarethLeonard Well I hope to join you one day on a video tour although I most likely won’t eat quite as much as you do LOL

[@serenerain3633]

Getting a meal in Joshua Tree... EXPECTATION: walks in full of joy, grabs food, skips out with said food. REALITY: Takes 2 hours just waiting in a line of people on there phone, who give no fucks.... Such a small town being ruined by LA snobs and web rats....

[@oceangrownkae]

🤢 too much chewing

[@charlamullen8793]

Great look at JT !! Pappy & Harriet's is a must. Try JT Country Kitchen next time and Joshua Tree Coffee Company.

[@adventureinourjourney2360]

@gareth Leonard... if you ever go to places like East Mesa, Apache Junction, Phoenix, Goldfield, AZ. I can point to different taco places that I grew-up.

[@gailpilas7516]

I plan on visiting JT later this year. Why no review of the Roadrunner deli in Joshua Tree? Gonna subscribe and hope you go back and add it to your Joshua tree reviews.

[@GarethLeonard]

Thank you for the recommendation! All of these places I reviewed were recommended to me by local viewers. I will add Roadrunner for next time for sure! Cheers!

[@coraleez]

I liked your video and all the food looked fantastic but I am baffled at how much for you are able to consume 😮😂 it’s crazy!!! 2 breakfast, 2 lunches and 2 dinners, all good sized! Boys got an appetite!

[@lionmarkmgmt1294]

Sky High pizza has no business being hidden away in Joshua Tree. We locals are blessed to have a world class pizza place

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

I love Pioneertown! Glad to see that wonderful restaurant/ venue hanging in there. Saw some really groovy music and the best people watching there. Wonder if that motel next door made it through the covid times. And the ceramicist selling hippie mugs?

[@suzigemini]

Hotel is still there 👍

No way! Wish I would’ve seen this before I was there last weekend. We’re you there at the same time? 😆
