Reviewing GEORGIAN CUISINE - The First Time!

[@Invincible_Force]

Mate, you’ve got me googling flights to Georgia! What a feast!

[@GaryEats]

Wow it’s definitely fantastic food

[@giorgikk]

Welcome You will be able to try many other delicious dishes. We have different versions of khachapuri and I would recommend Imeretian khachapuri and achma. I recommend my favorite chanakhi and chakapuli, this is stewed lamb with tarragon and cherry plum. Well, we have many different varieties of wine, from different grape varieties. And much more.

[@DaveGurjiani]

It is so !!!

[@demetyemaladze8934]

@imtomjones sorry it doesnt meet your american standards of sitting at home all day playing video games!! must be sad to know people have a life and like to spend their time going to mountains or beaches which georgia has amazing of, just because you have different interests and obviously can't have fun doesn't mean its the "most boring country" plss get over yourself

[@demetyemaladze8934]

Those guys of this restaurant are amazing. every person that makes georgian restaurant outside Georgia and shows our cuisine is annonymous hero. that is our non material cultural heritage! thanks for restaurant and special thanks for channel!

[@GaryEats]

This was an excellent restaurant and great food, thanks for watching and commenting

[@KatytheNightOwl]

Oh Gary! That food looked like a 10/10 to me! It ALL looked superb, especially that scrumptious looking starter! 👍 I really loved the look of the dumplings - & you both obviously loved eating them! Lol The stew looked amazing, & I really loved the bowl that it was served in - so brightly colourful, for winter in a land that can be bitterly cold. I think what I love most about your food journey is that, no matter what cuisine you try, there's always something that reminds us all of our home cooking. Apart from the spicing, & the addition of pomegranate, ALL of those dishes would still be at home in our own family kitchens - yes, presented slightly differently, but with enough familiarity that, as you so obviously were, comfortable enough, to feel right at home with! 👍

[@mrdrifter3925]

Proper little gem of a place.

[@GaryEats]

I fully agree

[@rogerjakko]

I'm going to be perfectly honest, hand on heart, in that I wasn't looking forward to this video. How wrong could I be ??? The restaurant didn't look very exciting from the outside at the start, but boy oh boy, wasn't it just sensational inside. The food looked absolutely gobsmacking .... wholesome, hearty, no arty farty lightweight poncing about with minute quantities at mega silly prices and therefore right up my Strasse. Unbelievable place and respect to the owners / staff. Another excellent presentation Gary.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so very much Roger one I’d highly recommend 👌

I´ve lived 4 years in beautiful Georgia, from 18-22. The best country i´ve been to out of 39 destinations. Great people, delicious food, fantastic nature, a looong hot summer and very cheap country. My favorite dish is Satsivi. It´s chicken in a creamy wallnut sauce. Or try Lobio, that´s beans in a clay pot. You´ll love it Cheers from a dane🇩🇰

[@x-raf7652]

I worked in Tbilisi almost 20 years ago, the Georgians are an extremely warm and loving people. Their food is very hearty because during winter (when I was there) a warm day got to -16C. I was working on the 'new' airport, so effectively working outside. Second day of working I was wearing the entire contents of the suitcase that I'd taken to stay warm... The national dish of Georgia is basically a Kebab, their national drink is beer, and their flag is basically the flag of saint George - What's not to like?! :) The food is always prepared to order, and every dish has a story behind its creation. The food is excellent, the people are excellent, the culture is excellent. Sadly, the Russians are shitting on the doorstep as usual, but Georgia has survived its neighbour for over 2000 years, so I'm sure it will get over its recent travails.

[@TimK2646]

Amazing citizens of that country. One lady is there in my birth country Myanmar/Burma capital called Yangon.

[@TruckingVideos]

Back in about 1998 I delivered an aircraft refuelling tanker to Tbilisi airport, drove it there overland from London. Stayed at the Metechi Palace for a few days. Got arrested at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport on the way home because my Russian visa had expired and I needed to transfer from the domestic to the international airport which meant crossing Russian terrain, deported from Russia and told never to return. Happy days. ;-)

[@jonathancardy9941]

Georgians will tell you that they invented wine, it's the national drink. Many good reds, I think you said yours was a Saperavi? But at a Georgian Supra all the men will have a glass in front of them that looks more like apple juice. White wine, but fermented on the skins rather than the way we usually make white wine in the west. A quaffing wine. Be wary of drinking from drinking horns, the biggest hold more alcohol than a yard of ale does

[@willjamesmoore]

Fully recommend visiting Georgia, it's a such a great country. The food is great and the wine is even better!

[@GaryEats]

Hopefully, I can visit there next year Will

Wow ! Never thought of trying Georgian food before 🤔... Gary has introduced us to a little gem here. You might think living in central London we wouldn't be bored or find it hard trying to find a decent place to eat, where it doesn't cost a arm and a leg, but the moment Gary bit into that dumpling and gave his review it had me looking for the address.

Being Chinese that naturally caught my eye as well. An article says it likely travelled China --> Mongols --> Georgia, and apparently the difference is thicker dough and liquid soup is used, while xiaolongbao use thin skins and gelatinous filling to keep from exploding I guess.

@GaryEats how often do you eat our Gary? I'm fairly new to your channel, just about a month, and I'm slowly trying to catch up. How do you keep your figure in check? PS. I'd love to see more deserts, especially in a Georgian restaurant Gary.

[@GaryEats]

Since starting the channel? A few times a week and I try not to eat too much when not reviewing. I will do my best to do more desserts

[@jefffrancis6920]

​@GaryEats I'd love to see a restaurant that does lots of old-fashioned deserts with custard - buffet style. Lots of custard.

Gary...In a world full of fake personalities and youtubers who act very "fake" and obnoxious , because they think having a gimmick is what gets them views...I must say its very refreshing to see a channel that is just normal , authentic and relatable . Love the energy you bring to every single review , Love from Kerala 🙌

Yes it's very relaxing isn't it? In todays troubled world..Good food and wine and Gary's personality is a bit of escapism 😊

[@jans1972]

Really enjoyed watching you try something new and giving an enthusiastic review of the food. Plenty enough for 2 so it wasnt that expensive. Thanks Gary for the introduction to a new taste sensation.

[@GaryEats]

Very kind as always Jans thank you

[@moinakbhattacharya878]

That food looks delicious. Wholesome, sumptuous, filling, nourishing.. Just wow, lovely

[@GaryEats]

It was exactly that

[@christhesinger993]

I thought you’d won the lottery, Gary. You were that happy. ;) to be honest, I’ve never tried that food ;) But I will if I see a restaurant I don’t think I have three courses, though you look stuffed and happy ❤ interesting video and I think you enjoyed doing it because it was different and educational and food have a great Sunday CQ

[@GaryEats]

I wish lol 😂 and thank you for watching

[@chrismawson4185]

Gary love your plain and honest reviews no bs or click bait just straight talking and honesty a hard thing to find these days keep it up bud loving your work oh and the cameraman 😊😊lol

[@GaryEats]

That’s very kind Chris thank you very much

[@OldQueer]

After your previous video where you took away the food to revamp at home, I'd be interested in a Gary Cooks spinoff. Would be really interesting to see what kind of things you cook up at home given your wealth of restaurant experience.

[@GaryEats]

I might try that in the future 👍

[@tracyl1368]

​@GaryEats definitely do it love.....even if u do it as a second channel. .....that said i do realise it's a lot of work with editing & uploading especially when u have a full time job too.

[@clairedoylebooks]

Yes! As I mentioned in a previous comment, about the offal toast to compete with Nigella's avocado nonsense.

[@markramsay6399]

I like that. Or a twist on the theme... Gary visits your house and you cook for him and camera man. Lot of side project ideas here.

[@GaryEats]

This is a great idea Mark but I’d feel very bad ever criticising someone’s cooking in their home, fantastic idea though and will see what I can do

[@ManhattanNYC]

Thank you, Gary! Your review was wonderful, objective, and lovely. I visited Little Georgia in Islington while in London a couple of years ago and was amazed. I'm happy to see that Georgians are opening more places and introducing this amazing cuisine to the world. I live in New York City and feel very lucky that we have eight incredible Georgian restaurants in Manhattan and lots more in Brooklyn.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for the information the food is amazing

[@frankflegg8968]

Gary, this was a really good video. I moved to Eastern Europe and the quality of the food is amazingly - and relatively cheap. I know you have to do the fast food stuff, but this was real food. Thank you for the entertainment. All the best mate.

[@GaryEats]

I’m really pleased you enjoyed this one, Frank

[@Mike_Watches_Things]

I think this is my favourite video so far. Gary’s Eyes lighting up like a child at Christmas trying these unexplored wonders. Really makes you want to grab a fork and rip that Stew out of your hands. Looked enormous and absolutely perfect. Would be curious to know what it would have taken to make it a perfect 10 🤔 Awesome review as always Gary 🫡

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so very much Mike

[@ontherocks8712]

I wondered the same.

[@johngibson3837]

I didn't understand why this wouldn't be a 10 also

[@GaryEats]

I thought it was a little pricey

[@johngibson3837]

@@GaryEats that sounds strange you liked the food and it would feed two so compared to some ov your other reviews?

[@patthewoodboy]

that beef(stew) looks right up my street

[@GaryEats]

It was a lovely stew

[@douglasgrahamdronefilmingp2068]

Looks like you really enjoyed the food it looked excellent. No doubt a lot of people will be trying Georgian food after watching your review.

[@GaryEats]

I really hope so Douglas

[@michaelraiger623]

That restaurant is a lovely combination of elegance and rustic simplicity. Wow!

[@GaryEats]

This was excellent

[@euan1234]

Yes! My favourite food reviewer, reviewing my favourite food! My wife is Armenian, where Georgian food is also widely available. So when we visit her family every year, I usually keep a count of how many khachapuri I eat on the trip. Usually average about 1 per day... and I return about 5kg heavier! It is the ultimate dish - comforting, filling, simple, but yet utterly utterly tasty. Love it! Thanks for another great review!! (p.s. if you want to continue your food tour of the Caucasus and are ever in Manchester, there is a great Armenian restaurant in the city centre called Armenian Taverna)

[@GaryEats]

That’s so very kind and how lucky are you wow, my first but not last time for sure and I’ll take a look at your recommendation thank you 👌

[@legionnairegonk4425]

Wow, they don't skimp on portion sizes do they! I don't think I could even finish the first two dishes on my own, never mind the stew. Fair play to them for good value.

[@GaryEats]

Really big portions 👌

[@byarvin]

Gary, Georgian restaurants are quite popular in New York (especially Brooklyn) and the Bustleton neighborhood of Philadelphia. The restaurant you're visiting has a better looking wine selection than any I've seen in the States. This is the world's most underestimated cuisine.

[@GaryEats]

I agree a fantastic cuisine which I’ll definitely try again

[@patthewoodboy]

the decor almost stopped my pavlovian response

[@GaryEats]

😳👍

[@michaelhathaway2399]

Cheers Gary, glad you had a wonderful first time with Georgian food. Such a wonderful cuisine that's packed with flavor and goodness. Always love seeing your videos pop up - immensely relaxing to just see some food and listen to your thoughts, no music, no gimmick, no jumpy editing. Looking forward to the next one!

[@GaryEats]

That’s very kind Michael thank you and definitely a cuisine to try one day for sure 👌
