We Ate Food From Mariah Carey’s Ex-Chef, Stayed In A 5-Star Hotel & Almost Missed Our Flight (All thanks to Cadbury)

We Ate Food From Mariah Carey’s Ex-Chef, Stayed In A 5-Star Hotel & Almost Missed Our Flight (All thanks to Cadbury)

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi May 5, 2026 Duration: 38:17

This week on The Food Guys, Dub and Nectro recap their chaotic Sydney trip and it starts with Nectro nearly missing the flight before sprinting through the airport like his life depended on it. From there, the boys somehow end up at Crown Towers Sydney, realise they’re staying in a full-blown five-star hotel, and become way too obsessed with the room, the view, and one very fancy toilet.


The trip also turns into a serious food crawl, with pizza panini from Mariah Carey’s ex-personal chef, giant Anzac cookies, room service, and tacos from Sonny Bill Williams’ taco spot including beef birria, cheeseburger tacos and a cheese skirt that had the boys questioning how far they’d actually travel for food.


Plus, they break down the Cadbury event, the new Cadbury & More range, the strangest sensory rooms, a stolen Uber situation, Sydney food hype, hotel wanker comments, and whether this might have been one of their best food trips yet.

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.
