Reviewing RICK STEIN'S RESTAURANT!

Rick Stein is one of my favourite chefs. I haven't had the opportunity to visit any of his restaurants in my life so I thought today would be a good day to head down to his restaurant in Barnes for a bit of seafood. I'm planning to go to Padstow in a few months time, so I'm looking forward to this one!

Keith was the man. I appreciate your reference to him. Gone but never forgotten. When I drink a glass of red wine while cooking, Keith is in my mind. Rip KF. Sadly missed.

Keith Floyd is my favourite chef of all time, the man was a great chef, and above all, a normal bloke and a superb entertainer.
None of the current TV chefs come anywhere close.

I've cooked this Dish many many times professionally. In Scotland on the East Coast. I'm also Scottish. The Cullen Skink liquor should be no thicker than whole milk. In other words there is no thickeners added only the potatoes. If the potatoes aren't over cooked you'll get very little starch released.

The Skink you're eating is cooked classically.

Have to agree with some of my fellow Scots on here Gary in that the Cullen Skink was very traditionally made, with a milky consistency which is perfect👍. I love Rick Stein so wish I could visit there😊

Went to a book signing by Keith Floyd in the 80s.
He'd had a drink but a perfect gentleman. RIP " Dear Boy " ( as he would have said ! )

Nice for the legend that was Keith Floyd to get a mention too. Met him in his restaurant in Devon many years ago. He appeared at the urinal beside me. Normally, I don't chat in that situation, but I made an exception! Top bloke. Even washed his hands before the hand shake 😂

As for the thinness of Cullen Skink soup, yes, it can be thin, but it also depends on the type of potato used to cook it. I prefer to use floury "tatties" such as Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes, which can thicken it up a bit. Coming from a Scotsman that grew up in a town 12 miles from Cullen

Keith Floyd was the best, a true eccentric. Do love Rick Stein, and loved his dog Chalky on the programmes x

[markmanning]

Keith Floyd was a genius and gave me a passion for cooking. Rick Stein is also amazing, but let’s not forget the great David Pritchard, who without, we would not know either of these great chefs. He was the one that brought Keith and Rick to our screens and sadly died in 2019.

Floyd on Fish ... he and Rick having a fishy feast on a trawler heading out of port - iconic!

I loved Keith Floyd, too! He was very clever and quirky but truly knew his way around the kitchen. Rick is also a favourite. I wrote to him a couple times as his dog, Chalky, was related to mine! I have signed photos (complete with a paw print) from them, tucked away in one of his cook books! The food looked good - I think I would've picked the same things as you, in that set menu, though the lemon tart that went with the bottom options would also have appealed! Again, a fantastic vlog and brilliant review. Your style of presentation is great, so please don't change. Definitely my favourite food reviewer now - you don't complicate things with fancy language or fluff it out to lessen the times when things aren't so great! Thank you! xx

Top notch, super professional video as always 👌🏼 you deserve a hell of alot more subscribers!! Keep them coming 🍻

[markharrison]

Made me laugh when you said you watched the plate of mussels pass by... l've lost count of the times I've seen another dish go past and thought 'Wish I'd ordered that now' 😂 Another great review Gary 👍

[JAGIFFORD]

Great watch Gary. I went to see Rick Stein at St George’s hall in Bradford on Friday. What a smashing all round guy he is.

[mickm]

I always liked watching Gary Rhodes, He had a good way of presenting his show.

[georgiaannebronte]

You are such a sweet man. I used to be a restaurant critic for a respected publication, but you do it much better than I ever did. so much love for you.

[garyoconnor]

Another great review Gary, I’m a big fan of Rick so interesting to watch the video. Keep up the good work.

[captainredtie]

Glad you enjoyed your visit Gary. Place used to be called The Depot and had been there more than 25 years. Rick famously never wanted to open a London restaurant, so it had to take a place of such location and calibre to change his mind! My family and I can only afford to eat there on special occasions, but when we do we always push the boat out (pun intended! 😉) and go for the expensive seafood options, coz...when in Rome eh?! That includes having a cheeky bottle of wine which is always expertly selected and recommended by the staff and Rick's own son!
Had probably the best sherry trifle I will ever taste in my entire life on one birthday visit. I still speak of it to this day, while gazing longingly at the photo I took!

This guy works hard to give us a really genuinely review that all levels of wealth can enjoy

Who'd have thought it, Rick Stein getting some serious competition from Neil Morrissey.
