The Food Guys Podcast

Teddy @tedsthetics is back on The Food Guys, and this one goes way deeper than burgers. Fresh off opening Smash District, Teddy talks us through what it’s really like launching a food truck in Melbourne, why hospitality can break you, how social media puts a target on your back, and the truth about online hate, food reviews, and criticism. We also get into the man behind the videos, fatherhood, pressure, relationships, content creation, and building something real while everyone has an opinion. A big catch-up with laughs, honesty, and plenty of food talk. Thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast!
