The BEST Snacks & Foods of 2025 Award Show!

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi December 16, 2025 Duration: 56:13

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. 🍔🏆🍫

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when people who are genuinely obsessed with food get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on The Food Guys Podcast. Hosts Dub and Nectorious Papi don't just review meals; they dive headfirst into the entire universe of what we eat. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the topics range from breaking down the latest fast-food menu item to heated debates about beloved or despised ingredients. The discussion is always grounded in a real passion-they love to talk about food just as much as they love to eat it. You'll hear more than just their opinions, though. They regularly bring other voices into the mix, from well-known names in the food industry to local business owners and fellow food lovers. These conversations are packed with the hosts' natural chemistry, which means plenty of laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional good-natured argument. Tuning into this podcast is like getting an insider's look at food culture, served with a side of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s a show for anyone who thinks about their next meal while they’re still eating the current one.
