2025 Year In Review - Best Meals of 2025

·1 hr 7 min·1 clip

All three of us looked up at the same time thinking: is yours as good as mine?

The hosts rank their eight best meals of 2025, discussing food quality, experience, and personal moments. Key highlights include surprising international calorie stats (Austria #1, USA #2), homemade feta dips from friends, Angelo's iconic Philadelphia cheesesteak, seafood nachos at Surf City's Shaka Taco, and an unexpectedly excellent quesadilla from a small Tennessee food truck. Despite limited travel that year, the hosts found meaningful culinary moments through local exploration and authentic food experiences.
