Excellent video! Your vlogging as you walk around the city has really improved (you definitely seem more confident). The filming and editing were terrific! I love the way you explain each bite, flavors, textures, all of the important details! Lovely video!
IN GRACE WE TRUST ❤ Best foodie reviewer in my opinion! Actually honest & not “omg tastes unreal” “best thing ever”. Constructive, genuine, trustworthy Places need to watch out cause if you say it’s good they will for sure sell out! Also, who’s hand was that at 11:14 😂 with the nails?
Grace! I just want to let you know im from Virginia in the US and you are my favorite youtuber to watch bc you are just so real. You really make me want to visit England. Thank you for always putting out great content💕
I’m also a chocolate croissant girl, but caffe Tucci in Sheffield has the best pistachio croissants. A real taste of Naples! You should do a tour of the north!
I totally agree! Yorkshire has some great places to visit! And the north in general! She should try the vintage booth cafe in Maltby which isn’t too far from Sheffield. The food and afternoon tea there is so well presented and lovely! It’s only small so you have to book for afternoon tea so you deffo get a slot but it’s lovely!
Dane here!😊Ole and steen/Lagkagehust is danish - as well as Søstrene grene😉The snowman and the Christmas tree “marshmallows” are called “Flødeboller”, and is a classic danish treat. They come in various different flavors and prices, but the classic is just chocolate covered, maybe with coconut. So fun to watch you try things from my country!❤️
Taste testing is ultimately down to personal preference. A few months ago I met with a friend for brunch - we had the exact same meals. I really enjoyed it and would eat it again, my friend not so, she didn't enjoy it. I just like that you try everything and give me hints to try myself.
Could also be the fault of a bad batch that day. Like that one day all the food just wasn't good 😂 To be fair even my favourite local restaurants have a bad day where the food isn't good that day but next time I order it again and tastes good. Like grace said the oil seemed to have sit for long it seems for the donuts and there was no gravy with the sandwich. But what do I know! May really not be good. I'm just glad you liked the food and had a wonderful time 😊
Loved this! Would be intriguing to see how much these items cost - would be cool to see this info. Loving your Vlogmas so far Grace. Hope Papa Booth will be making another appearance 🤩 loved your “Deck the halls” jumper too xx
i grew up having dunkin so when she described the sandy grainy like texture of the glaze then it's safe to assume they're consistent with the recipe across continents 😅 love love this Chrismassy video esp the coffee drink taste reviews and all 😍
Awesome review of sweets and treats from around London My favorite donuts are raspberry and cream custard and cream or apple turnovers with cream This does not help having an allergy to dairy products and being attacked by the pimple
taste tests are always so funny to me cause they’re so subjective. i like chocolate on it’s own but not chocolate flavored things like ice cream, cake, croissants and such, it’s theee most basic flavor there is to me. so ultimately you never know who to trust, yk?😂 edit: that snowman marshmallow thing looks adorable, love it when brands/shops get creative for the holidays
Omg yes same!! No one ever really understands but I think exactly the same of chocolate. Love me some chocolate on its own but you can keep the ice cream and cake.
Yes I'm exactly the same. I worked at a gelato shop and the sheer amount of people that picked standard chocolate over the massive array of colourful deliciousness made me want to scream, y'all are missing out!!!!
I think viral items on social media are like the modern version of tourist traps. Glad you are exposing the bad ones and enjoying the good ones though!
I felt the same about the Honest Burger Christmas special - felt like a lot of richness but not much else. Mine also had loads of spinach in the bottom which was not the one - would have preferred some pickled red cabbage or something for both acidity and crunch!
so dunkin originated in my home state, and you are right about the coffee being sweet. there are a few things about dunks in massachusetts: first, when someone orders a "coffee regular" here, that means with cream and sugar. i read somewhere that in a medium (14oz) that would be 3 creams, 3 sugars. and that is just the regular, no added syrups or anything. second, dunkin coffee girls drink iced coffee year round. over here. they have used (don't know if they still do cause i don't go there anymore) styrofoam cups for hot coffee, but in the winter they are used as sleeves for iced coffee. gotta keep those hands warm while drinking icy drinks in icy weather. third, unlike krispy kreme and, from what can tell from your videos, your country, we enjoy a cake donut in massachusetts. one i hated as a kid is now one of my favs, the blueberry glazed cake donut. yum
Love your content Grace, thank you for always providing us with such entertaining, unique content ♥ Would love to try the baos and all the christmas drinks in London! Wishing you and your loved ones the best christmas yet ✨
Your reviews are certainly not too harsh. I'm frequently in London for the past 10 years and I always check out many viral places and I would say 50% of them are trash, 20% meh, 10% nobody ever needs that, 5% maybe good. I always ask other people who are eating something from that place if they like what they eat and people always straight away tell you if it's meh or shit 😂
Love these festive vlogs! I also really appreciate your honesty on over hyped foods, it kinda irks me when you can tell when someone doesn't like the food but says it tastes great anyways. 🤣
I went Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago and I saw a girl with the gingerbread cup! I am Australian though, and I live about 2 hours away from Sydney.
Hello from Texas! Grace your face looks so different since you cut your hair. Google your Princess Catherine from like 1995. To me you look so much like her. I really like the new cut! 💇🏻♀️
Yay glad to see you finally went to ole & Steen, I was disappointed that you didn't include it in the Christmas coffee shop series though. I think you were a bit harsh to judge it as a viral place though as i think that carries higher expectations, it's a coffee shop chain at the end of the day, albeit a very good one.
Great video. Your honesty and actual food knowledge really helps here. I personally dislike the Christmas-ifying of every single food brand and shop because as you say, some things shouldn’t be touched
Was sat next to folk consuming that ramen in bone daddies the other day… I think I enjoyed mine more. Agreeeee, the classics don’t need to be touched. 🤪
Christmas food in the UK looks awesome! Meanwhile in the US, Wendy’s has a peppermint Frosty, McDonalds brought back a custard pie that even I (who lost custard as one of my favorite foods) don’t like, and Crumbl Cookies can’t even pull out all the stops. I’m sure there’s more, but still…
11:30. OMG i heard this as "i love clem". THATS MY NAME! thats the pick me up i needed . rough week . love you and your vlogs . hope you are well ... clem xx (of course)
i walked so many times past the donutelier shop in london but I was like OUCH that much for a donut and croissant. now im glad i didnt bite the bullet hahah
The Dunkin experience is pretty much how it goes! We always joke that you don’t go to Dunkin for the donuts, you go for the coffee 🤷♀️ not sure why their donuts are crap but they just are.
Totally agree. As a kid they were actually baked in house but now they just taste like processed cr*p. I’ve had supermarket donuts that are tastier than Dunkin. Dunkin’ just has good marketing so you think you are getting a good product. But you are not.
I don't think you're harsh with the comments. I'd rather have the feedback of someone like you who knows when it's bad and can explain why (which you do everytime) than someone who says it's good but cannot say why (because usually the reason is that they have a "dobermann palate" as we say in French)
I love how you review food. It actually teaches me a lot on tasting food. I just remembered what you’ve shared ago about going the museums with your family in your childhood (and papa booth being in arts). So I’m just guessing - maybe you have a talent of “transposing” the “art of enjoying the art” to the “art of enjoying the food”.
I don’t think you are harsh, just quite specific in what you like. You are fairly fussy with your textures and taste & it shows whenever you eat in vlogs. Food and drink is a weird one.. so subjective. I think a lot of these viral foods are very pretty to look at, but that’s about it.
Brilliant as usual. Id rather you tell us as it is, than sensationalise just for the sake of the video. Keep being honest, love it! Would have loved a Krispy Creme included as this Christmas they did the Elf Movie! ❤
I understand youre frustration with stuff that looks pretty and is expencive and it and disgusting. Last year I got some cakes and cookies and my brothers, mom and I we all tried the stuff and it was dry and over the top sweet. With no flavor to it. The stuff were chocolate pepermint cup cakes and cookies and one other cookie and my brothers said the like the other bakery we all go to to get treats. How was hubby with the treats and would he rate them also?
I would rather that you give it to us all straight (as is your style) whether something is worth it or not. London is expensive enough, so if I want to try nice things that are a little bougie, I want to not feel mugged off by a subpar product. Treat yourself not cheat yourself! Re: Christmas dinner ramen - I think the pigs in blankets should be oversized and sliced into coins (feels more 'right' for a ramen topping). They were definitely missing a trick with not having some brussels. As for the noodles - it may have been fun to experiment with the Yorkshire pudding here as a noodle -> thinking like Chinese Gluten or like Indian Chappathi noodles. That being said it does bring you further away from the essence of a ramen - bouncy alkaline noodles, broth, tare and oil. Which then leads to the point of - is it actually worth it in the end? Probably not... may as well eat a good, competently done meal in a Christmas jumper/Christmassy setting with seasonal snacks - e.g. lebkuchen etc and call it a day!
Prawn/shrimp toast is a Hong Kong/Chinese dish/snack, right?! Surely it's nothing really festive about it lolz. Chestnut-flavoured food is everywhere this year - Crosstown also has a chestnut something doughnut. :) Loving all of the Christmas content so far. xxx
This American is hearing "deep fried chamomile" on the burger. I don't think that's what she is saying. Can someone interpret? I'm not being mean. I really do want to figure out what it is.
All these viral foods seem awful. Maybe its time to give them all a miss and go find new lovely out of the way food places with amazing things to give money to rather than these places chasing viral photo status with gross low quality stuff.
Maybe try specials from places you actually like. Kind of off-putting to make an entire video of food you dislike, ,Albert at least try in store so it’s more festive. This was kind of just sad all around.
Or Grace could be herself, and have preferences and be honest with reviews! Not everyone will like everything, and that’s okay. Although trying special of places Grace loves would be cool to watch. I’m sure she didn’t plan to not like things.
If you're gunna leave a comment like this, then please make it constructive. How is a content creator supposed to know what you're referring to when you say 'the old grace videos they were entertaining'. Leaving comments like you have is just rude, hurtful and no one can learn from them to try to adapt.
Grack, I’d love to see you make your own Christmas sandwich (sharing the recipe of course) something we can all make ourselves at home.
I think for Veganuary you could do this sort of video and try out some viral vegan food spots in London, I see soo many online☺️🌱🫶
Cracked me up with the first bubble tea straw being upside down.😂...love your honesty as always. Thanks😊
Grack coming through with the company while i eat my dinner! Thanks Grace!

I really miss your baking videos, love seeing you try different things but when you’re baking at home it feels so much more cozy and fun
Grace! I just want to let you know im from Virginia in the US and you are my favorite youtuber to watch bc you are just so real. You really make me want to visit England. Thank you for always putting out great content💕
Also in VA here!
I’m also a chocolate croissant girl, but caffe Tucci in Sheffield has the best pistachio croissants. A real taste of Naples! You should do a tour of the north!
Totally agree, I go to Tucci a couple of times a week.
I totally agree! Yorkshire has some great places to visit! And the north in general! She should try the vintage booth cafe in Maltby which isn’t too far from Sheffield.

Cafe Tucci really is amazing, especially their build your own Italian sandwiches 😋
probably one of my favourite grack videos ever!!!

We have the same in Sweden! Also often covered in dark/milk chocolate with coconut 😋😋
I love how honest you are about the food you taste. I thought I had crazy facial expressions,but there is no mistaking your dislike of something.

Love this video ! I don’t think you are too harsh just simply honestly all about the food not about the style x
As someone who doesn’t really go to London I love watching your honest reviews. Always entertaining and full of enthusiasm …😀
Awesome review of sweets and treats from around London
My favorite donuts are raspberry and cream custard and cream or apple turnovers with cream
This does not help having an allergy to dairy products and being attacked by the pimple
I tried some Donutelier doughnuts and loved them! Especially the pretzel one 🤤

That burger looks amazing love deep fried camembert
Such a peaceful video! Love your taste tests. I just take your textures with a grain of salt 😉 I love all the interesting textures!
Hello from Texas! Grace your face looks so different since you cut your hair. Google your Princess Catherine from like 1995. To me you look so much like her. I really like the new cut! 💇🏻♀️
I’m basic and I love a Coop Raspberry croissant
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrank, with a solid roll of the r’s.

I see the Yorkshire pud in there as a good replacement for say tofu - looks like a well balanced working ramen for me

I tried the doughnuts a few months ago and they were soo delicious !! We even had to go twice it was that good
legit question, how do you not put on weight eating constantly, its a compliment, but what activities do you do to burn off the calories?
Out of interest, how much did everything cost in this day?

Regular Dunkin Donuts are far superior to Krispy Kreme. I’ve never got the hype for Krispy Kremes personally
Why did the hand taking the bag from Creme have nails?? Im so confused, was it not you?
Note to self:
Chestnut cookie

Instead of watching people trying viral stuff wouldn't it be so much nicer to see people showcasing things that are really great but obscure.

Old oil is horrible. It ruins the product.
Agreed, I have banned my partner from shopping at a chippy that never changes their oil, the smell almost makes me puke
You kinda look like maya hawke!
Keep it real. Life is too short for rancid oil, fake chocolate, and margarine croissants!
