Smoke, spice and messy, unforgettable bites. In this episode of Taste & Talk with Rich, we dive into the electric world of street food — the sizzling grills, paper trays, and bold flavours that make food festivals and night markets so addictive.

Rich recreates the spirit of global street food with a cook-along for Thai chicken satay skewers and green papaya salad, sharing stories from street stalls around the world — from shawarma in the UAE to satay in Thailand, koshari in Cairo, dhal puri in Mauritius, and nyama choma in Africa.

Along the way we explore why street food is the world’s most universal love language and the dishes every food lover should try at least once — from bhel puri and tamales to arepas, bunny chow and Korean gimbap.

Expect smoke, flavour, travel stories and festival energy in a celebration of the foods that bring people together.
