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!😊❤

[@GaryEats]

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

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.

[@GaryEats]

Interesting comment to read, thank you for that

[@thaisstone5192]

(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!!!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment as always. That sounds delicious

[@accountnamewithheld]

What does the soaking do for it?

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!

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!

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.

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!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Lucy, more to come!!

Good explanation of your review system, some people will never accept that a review is just someone’s opinion.

[@GaryEats]

Spot on!!

[@MrPantss]

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.

[@GaryEats]

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

[@MrPantss]

@@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.

[@GaryEats]

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

[@lvthud]

I know i've said it many times on this channel, but if you are going to offer up simple food, it has to be good, I trust Gary's taste, well done Spudman.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much and agree well done to him

[@spearmintvole9522]

Wow this brings it back.. 35 years ago I used to have a baked potato trailer and did local events. Before the organisers wized up and charged big money for the pitch it was money for nothing. Minimal choices it was butter, cheese or chilli and I never scrimped on quality because it was all low cost provided you didn’t over make.

[@GaryEats]

Glad I could bring back some memories for you

[@kramreprah]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Many thanks very kind of you!!

[@MillerTheOriginal]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much, wow that’s an incredibly kind comment

[@Anita-l6j8v]

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 🌟

[@GaryEats]

I’m so sorry to hear that please take care and my thoughts and prayers are with you 🌹

[@johnrobertgriffiths8435]

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.

[@GaryEats]

That’s a very kind comment, John. Thank you very much. It’s really appreciated.

[@markomarten]

I think this demonstrates why we should support local businesses, yes it is fast food but done well. As Gary quite rightly points out it’s homemade and that’s a skill in itself. I’m not sure if Spud-U-Like still exists but it seemed a simple idea. Good honest food at a sensible price and you will get a good following. Maybe you could do a little interview with Spudman he’s got it bang on as it were!

[@GaryEats]

Spot on Mark, great comment

[@awesomefrankrapid]

Love your vids mate, don’t spend it all at once!

[@GaryEats]

Wow that's incredibly generous of you thank you ever so much, it means the world

[@stephentalas1940]

Agreed, people like that are worthy of support and promotion, no it's not Michelin Star, but nor is it pretending to be, it's just honest decent (and as far as fast food goes) healthy and affordable grub.

[@GaryEats]

I agree, Stephen it’s definitely not Michelin star he’s just good on cooking and really good value

[@oakenshield6]

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

[@GaryEats]

That’s very kind to say, thank you very much

[@jacquibradley1598]

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. 👍👍🙋‍♀🙋‍♀🌹🌹

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely lovely and thank you Jacqui ❤️🌹

[@DavidMeikle-ei7fr]

Whether it's a 5 star restaurant or a park bench, Gary is there giving his viewers an unbiased opinion on a variety of food. Decent size spuds 🥔 and fillings

[@GaryEats]

That’s so very kind to say David the jacket potatoes were great portions and fantastic value as well. Take care and see you soon.

[@sctncl]

Came across your channel, and now followed. Love the polite, laid back approach you have. Very refreshing, top fella.

[@GaryEats]

That’s really kind of appreciated thank you very much. Have a fantastic weekend.

[@HeistheTruthWayLife]

Early 100k pressie! Nearly there!

[@GaryEats]

Gail, that is so very kind thank you very much. Me and the camera man will raise a glass to you tonight. You take care and have a fantastic weekend once again thank you very much.

[@MadAtGenocideApologistsMAGA]

Let’s get Gary to a 1 million subscribers so he can do this full time and can take his visits international!

[@catherineparr5489]

That would be great , you need to watch his Q&A video to understand that this might not be an option for a while .

[@GaryEats]

I won't be able to keep up with the comments!! Lol

[@catherineparr5489]

@@GaryEats after finding out it can take you up to 10hrs , to even attemp to reply / acknowledge all the comments . Don't try it , you have other commitments. Try not to spread yourself too thin . Take care 🙂.

[@GaryEats]

Catherine that's lovely of you thank you

[@miocene900]

Glad you've visited Spudman! I went myself last week after following him online for a couple of years. Nothing over the top, just simple tasty food at a really good price. Can't beat it for £5. Filled me up for the day

[@GaryEats]

Spot on and nice comment

[@bucksguineapigtalks]

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 !
