Want to see what goes on behind the scenes at some of Sydney’s most exciting restaurants? We’ve got you covered. In our weekly Monday Munchies series, we explore the dramatic highs and occasional lows of Australia’s best-loved and most hyped foodie hotspots. Whether it’s fast food, fine dining, casual or bakery, our team of culinary critics, led by journalist Ben McKimm, tests out the most viral food in Australia, providing an unfiltered look at what you should and shouldn’t line up for.
Below, you’ll find six of our top indulgences, starting with an old favourite. Best of all, you don’t even need to leave your house to enjoy them. We’ve teamed up with Uber Eats to show you how easy it is to score delicious meals and tasty treats from the comfort of your own home. We love how you can pretty much order anything on Uber Eats and the best part is, with an Uber One membership, you can enjoy $0 delivery for orders over $20. Munch on, team!
EPISODES
Guzman Y Gomez – This is Nacho Sundae!
In episode 28 of Monday Munchies, we made our way down to our local Guzman Y Gomez to test out a decadent new treat. How does a basket of crunchy cinnamon-sugar corn chips, topped with soft serve and chocolate sound? What about a dulce de leche sauce instead?
Happyfield – The Happiest Brunch on Earth!
In episode 30, we found the happiest brunch spot in Australia. Happyfield specialises in North American diner classics including pancakes, house-made hash browns, and sausage-filled muffins. After devouring it all, we can see why this place is buzzing.
Peanut Butter Bar – A Big, Bold and Buttery Good Time
In episode 32 of Monday Munchies, the team got a little nutty. Heading down to the “world’s first” Peanut Butter Bar in Waterloo, we found ourselves deep in flavourtown, with almost everything on the menu dripping in a smattering of peanutty goodness.
Kenny’s Pork Rolls – Australia’s Crispiest Meal?
In episode 37, our brave crew ventured off in search of Australia’s crispiest pork roll. They found it at Darlinghurst institution Kenny’s Pork Rolls, where pork crackling bánh mìs are bursting with juices and dripping with value. It doesn’t get more delicious than this.
South Dowling Sandwiches – Caramelised Carrots FTW
Is this Australia’s best sandwich? In episode 37, we visited hole-in-the-wall favourite South Dowling Sandwiches to uncover why it has garnered a cult-like following. With meals bigger than your head and a caramelised carrot topping, we may have figured it out.
American Cereals – The Sickly Sweet Taste of USA
To celebrate this year’s 4th of July, we dedicated episode 39 to our American friends. With a focus on sweet breakfast treats, we got our hands on the most iconic American cereals we could find, delivered fresh and fast from Crown Street Convenience Store to our door.
