  • Poptata is a London-based restaurant that sells fries. There are different dishes with all kinds of sauces. We tried out 5 of their most popular dishes to figure out which french fry combination was the best.

      I mean, it's not so much his personality or that he's boring, he's not giving us any insight. For someone who's a "Food Insider", the reviews lack detail. Describing something as flavorful, really good, or looks good doesn't tell me anything. I can see it looks good, and "flavorful" can mean anything. What flavors EXACTLY are you experiencing?? And ok fine, it's "really good" but whyyyy? Explain what it's doing to your palate, don't just give me vague senseless descriptions that add nothing to this video. I can't believe these people get paid to say nothing. Hey Food Insider, hire me! I'm cute, I'm funny, I already travel for food, and I know how to edit/write and paint a picture for the foodie's mind!

    • @hakeemsd70m
      @hakeemsd70m Před 4 lety +9

      @YourMajesty143 Před 4 lety +5

      Except he didn't go into flavor profiles which probably would've made it interesting. He was too focused on the appearance. The only things he said about flavor was the most vague shit like "really good", "flavorful", "I'm biased, I love curry", "not too spicy", "might have beetroot", "works well together". None of this is meaningful or inviting. Just bland commentary. If you watch Bon Appetit, Munchies, First We Feast, or even Thrillist, they talk about the food and the flavors in a way that makes you want to put your face through the screen and take a bite. That's what good food commentary should do, it should suck you into the experience.

    I thought this host was really good. I like his no BS approach to reviewing the food. I really dislike watching a food reviewer and they are experiencing ectasy from eating just about everything

    fries are not usually a side dish.. well they are in america but if you come to belgium the actual land where fries were made you have 100s of these restaurants also in the netherlands you can find really good fries for your main course

    I feel bad for him since there are a lot of people who dislike him as a host. I hope to see more of him in Buzzfeed videos! :)

    So there’s this place in Antigua, Guatemala that serves only fries and it’s called Patatafrites. It sells burgers too but the fries are great.
