Show Notes
It’s awards season at The Food Guys, and we’re closing out the year with the 2025 Food Guys Awards Show.
From fast food and supermarket bakery items to chocolates, lollies, drinks, and sweet vs savoury snacks, we’re crowning the absolute best food releases of 2025 across every category that matters. Joining us once again is certified snack king Nick Vavitas, back for his second year to help judge the highs, the hype, and the hard misses. Together, we break down the best fast food drops, the top overseas releases, the collab of the year, and the standout Easter, Christmas, ice cream, protein, and lolly launches.
And of course… not everything deserves a trophy. We also call out the worst overall food release of the year because some products just didn’t deliver. Strap in for hot takes, strong opinions, and the ultimate wrap-up of what Australia was really eating in 2025. 🍔🏆🍫

From Snickers, Mars and Maltesers to Boost, Crunchie, Twirl, Cherry Ripe and the much-hated Turkish Delight, the boys rank them from worst to best and quickly realise they don't agree on everything.
This week on The Food Guys, we're joined by radio producer and social media content creator Jimmy Szabo for a chat that quickly turns into a love letter to Italian food. Jimmy takes us back to the years he spent living around Rome from proper carbonara and traditional Sunday lunches to aperitivo, late-night dinners and why the best way to eat through Italy is to order what each region is actually known for.
Which supermarket potato chip actually deserves the crown?
