This week on The Dishy Dads, Gary and Jay reflect on a powerful moment when a nine-year-old boy told us we were his inspiration to become a chef—nearly bringing us to tears. We look back on our whirlwind summer touring UK food festivals, share our frustrations (and laughs) about teaching kids to read, and preview our upcoming two one-hour live shows at the International Boat Show, where we’ll be bringing some much-needed spice to the stage.
We also open up about the highs and lows of building the Winchester Cookery School—from carpenter and electrician setbacks to exciting plans that could see MasterChef winners teaching alongside us. Tune in for inspiration, behind-the-scenes stories, and a taste of what’s next for The Dishy Dads.
For the first time ever, the Dishy Dads hit record in the car. 🚙 This road trip to the Oxford Foodie Festival is more than just about lamb tacos — it’s about life. From reminiscing on college days to swapping holiday stories and handling a few bumps in the road (literally), it’s the raw, unfiltered side of Dishy Dads you don’t normally hear.
A one-off journey of food, family, and friendship. 🌮✨
This week, Gary and Jay are fresh from the Winchester Food Festival — and it was sizzling! Jay just made it in time for their live lamb taco demo, while Gary held down the fort with sizzling lamb and cool yoghurt drizzle. The lads break down their on-stage recipe and share the buzz from their home crowd.
But it’s not just tacos on the table…
We’re talking scandal:
🔸 A CEO and HR head caught on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay gig — and both were cheating
🔸 Why some men can’t just end a relationship before starting another
🔸 And the biggest shake-up in UK food TV — Gregg Wallace sacked after 45 allegations, and John Torode ousted for racist comments from 2018.
Plus: updates on the Winchester Cookery School, the carpenters are coming, and the dream is becoming real.
It’s spicy, it’s honest, and it’s unapologetically dad.

Episode Title: Balls, Chopping & and a quick finger
This week on Dishy Dads, Gary gets snipped — and we’re not talking about herbs.
From the true tale of his vasectomy (equal parts horror and hilarity) to what it’s really like running a food business in 2025, we cover everything from burnout in the kitchen to behind-the-scenes chaos at food festivals.
We dive into the new social media trend where chefs “joke” about ending it all — a raw reminder of how brutal this industry can be, and why conversations about mental health are more important than ever.
Plus, a quick update from the freshly opened Winchester Cookery School, where Gary’s been stirring up some serious summer sauces. This week’s flavour bombs? A raw tomato salsa and a basil pesto so good it should be illegal.
Expect laughs, truths, and a dash of emotional seasoning — it’s another unfiltered episode of Dishy Dads.
It’s sweaty, it’s sticky… and no, we’re not talking about the gym — it’s the great British heatwave! In this episode, Gary and Jay chat all things surviving the sun, working in sweltering kitchens, and how on earth you keep your dad bod cool in this weather.
We hear about Jay’s time cheffing in Spain — spoiler alert, it was HOT — plus tips for what to eat when you can’t face cooking, and a few classic dad-approved ways to cool down (think ice packs and paddling pools).
It’s food, fatherhood, and far too much sweating… welcome to Dishy Dads.
