    We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our UA-cam videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
    We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
    From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.

    Looks great. If you are heading further North. On SH1 try the BBQ place past the end of the 4 lane extension just before Dome valley. There's a seafood restaurant there as well, recommend the whitebait fritter. As you go further divert via Mangawahi, the BBQ hut does a good BBQ (Brisket in fry bread yes!) and you must try Cow Shed pies
