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

Season 6, Ep. 3
•

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.
