The TOP Cuisines in THE WORLD for 2025! (Which is best in Australia?!)

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi January 6, 2026 Duration: 36:00

On this episode of The Food Guys, we dive into TasteAtlas’ ranking of the world’s best cuisines from Italian and Greek to Japanese and Mexican and debate what these global heavyweights really mean to food lovers everywhere.


Nectro gets real with a heartfelt apology about a comment he made, setting the tone for honest conversation. Then we shift to what’s happening right here in Melbourne a city with over 3,500 restaurants serving more than 70 different cuisines and widely considered Australia’s culinary capital.


We chat about which international flavours we think will shine in Melbourne and across Australia in 2026 from classic European favourites and vibrant Asian eats to up-and-coming neighbourhood tastes that reflect the city’s multicultural pulse.


Expect stories, hot takes, and plenty of foodie inspiration for your next meal.

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.
