The Food Guys Podcast

Nick Vavitis from Choclt joins us to break down the real story behind launching three new products into Coles and Woolworths. From the pressure of scaling, to what went wrong the first time, to rebuilding the brand and getting back on shelves, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to make a supermarket launch happen. We’re also joined by Mark and Hannah from Ranged, who help unpack the strategy, challenges, and hard truths behind bringing a product to market.

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?

After a chaotic food event, we’re asking the question nobody wants to say out loud, is it ever OK to push in line? And why does line etiquette completely disappear when influencers are involved?

From awkward servers to silent crowd rage, we unpack the unspoken rules of lining up… and admit we’ve bent them ourselves.

On the food front, we finally try Sooshi Mango’s Sangaweech, did it live up to the hype? Is Lygon Street officially back? With new openings, nightlife shifts, and Melbourne slowly finding its groove again, we break down what’s happening in the scene right now.

Plus we hit the F1 Grand Prix to try the viral Melbourne food, review the new Cadbury Boost flavour, and talk about whether hype is ruining the experience of eating food.
Food culture. Line drama. Melbourne energy.
This is The Food Guys.
