Influencer Drama at the F1… Our Ex Co-Host Speaks Out & The Dirtiest Fast Food We’ve Seen

Influencer Drama at the F1… Our Ex Co-Host Speaks Out & The Dirtiest Fast Food We’ve Seen

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi March 10, 2026 Duration: 45:38

This week on The Food Guys, Dub and Nectro unpack their chaotic week at the Australian Grand Prix from exploring the massive food scene and VIP lounges to the debate that’s blowing up online: are influencers ruining events like F1?


The boys break down what the experience is really like behind the scenes, why food creators are actually helping small businesses at major events, and the insane activations popping up across the Grand Prix.


There’s a new food trend flooding supermarkets, with dozens of new yogurts launching at once, biscuits making a comeback, and some huge chocolate releases on the way. Plus, the guys react to the viral McDonald’s CEO burger controversy and debate whether Australia is falling behind the US in crazy food innovation.

They also dive into the decline of fast food service, after a shocking experience at a chicken chain that had them questioning everything.


And finally, the episode ends with a food debate you need to answer:

Should hot cross buns be eaten fresh… or toasted?
