It’s the final episode of 2025, and we’re wrapping up the year the only way we know how by locking in the best foods we ate all year.

From being completely spoilt for choice in Melbourne, to near monthly food missions in Sydney, and plenty of damage done across the US, this episode is a full recap of the meals, snacks, and late-night feeds that actually lived up to the hype.

We break it down from burgers, pizza, tacos, kebabs, souvlaki, desserts, and even elite late-night spots, and what we didn’t get to that’s already on the hit list for next year.

There’s also a special nod to the $20 Challenge standout of 2025, proving you don’t need to spend big to eat well.

If you want a no-filter look at what really hit in 2025 and what’s worth chasing in 2026 this is the episode to end the year on.

Thanks for an amazing year, thanks for listening and thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast. Happy 2026!
