What the creator captured
Jon Barr was particularly impressed by Gregs, placing it in the A tier and noting that its high-quality, fast sausage rolls should exist in New York. He also found the Tesco meal deal to be an incredible value for an expensive city, offering endless combinations for just five dollars. While he enjoyed the nostalgia of Wimpy, he ultimately found the food too plain to rank higher than a C tier.
