I m glad I m not the only one I cringe when a see that leery smile he just doesn’t do it for me

We are going to watch it this evening. As we have been to our beloved Rome over thirty times, I am looking forward to seeing favourite places, which I know ill health will prevent me from seeing again.
I am not looking forward to seing him. An arrogant and pretentious man, who has been described as an amateur historian. Really!

Gregg Wallace and unpretentious? In Professional Masterchef he is anything but! Won’t be watching.

I’ll stick to Rick Stein . Had fun in Cadiz and Vienna eating in some of the places he went to .

Each to their own. I loathe him and his side kick John Torode. I would actively avoid any programme he was on.

I actually thought that the thread title was a joke. It sounds like a black comedy written by Chris Morris.

We're enjoying this series. I've never been keen on Gregg but he's quite jolly in this. We're watching more for the lovely places he's visiting.

Ditto. I avoid anything he’s in

Yes sorry but Gregg Wallace is just awful.

I had to look who was watching this. Can't stand Greg Wallace. I just wonder how many takes it took to get the right amount of Icing sugar and cream exactly where he wanted it and will the takes appear on some show in the future?

You are the first person I have ever heard with a good word to say about Gregg Wallace.
I remember when he did Veg Talk on Radio 4, his first job in the media. He certainly struck lucky.

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.
