The Untold Story Behind Melbourne’s Most Iconic Pancakes

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi August 12, 2025 Duration: 40:09

We’re stacking up 60 years of history with The Pancake Parlour CEO Mandy.


From the brand’s humble beginnings and name changes to the fancy interiors, late-night chess games, and dishes that have never left the menu, Mandy reveals how this Melbourne icon has stayed a favourite for generations.

She shares how the menu has evolved with changing tastes, the multigenerational customers who keep coming back, and the little details that make each store unique. We also talk about memorable customer moments, celebrity visits, and what’s next for the Parlour, plus, the inside scoop on the special 60th anniversary deals dropping 19th August.

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.
