Started watching this new series Gregg Wallace travels to different places for weekends. It’s a bit like Rick Steins weekends but Gregg is so down to earth. This week he was in Rome his enthusiasm is obvious and he is really quite funny. This week he visited a pastry shop that serves everything sweet for breakfast. He was sampling little pastries while saying how much he had sweet tooth. It was so funny he had icing sugar and fresh cream all over his nose. He is a nice enough guy what I like is his non pretentious attitude. It’s a nice programme and makes you yearn for a trip abroad.
I watched his programme in Athens, last night, I found him irritating and full of himself..my H worked in Athens for a year and I used to go out there and I dont think G.W did it justice at all...
I watched last night because DH wanted to see Athens. I'm afraid that I can't abide Gregg Wallace. I don't know what he knows about food, except for what he has learnt on Master Chef. After all he is a greengrocer. I agree, there is a lot more to Athens than was shown on the programme.
I’m another who can’t abide Greg Wallace. My antipathy for him is the stuff of legend in our family! When I look at his face I only see his teeth and his beady eyes and I feel as if he’s going to leap off the screen and wolf me down whole!
