Restaurateur, author, chef and seasoned television presenter Shane Delia returns to Food Bytes to tell us about his latest adventure, a six part series for SBS Food, tapping into his Maltese heritage. Shane's passion for the cuisine, produce, people and places of his ancestral homeland shines through with his insights into everything from sweet treats to Christmas fare. And rather than a kitchen or cooking tip, Shane shares an AFL footy tip for 2026.

The reaction to our Food Poll this week was off the charts and the battle for supremacy was akin to a heavyweight title fight as we crown the top flyer from the deep fryer ... it's potato cakes/scallops up against chips.

George Donikian is a uniquely talented man who has packed a lot into his 50 year media career, as you will discover in this week's episode.

George's cavalcade of colourful life experiences is like the joy of opening a box of Cadbury Favourites. One minute, it's a boost to Far North Queensland, then a twirl around the New South Wales Central Coast then our Turkish speaking delight is fronting news on SBS! Only the names have been changed to protect the various shades of George. The food component of this chat is every bit as exotic as George's media journey. Fasten your seat belts, it's a fun-packed adventure.

The Food Poll this week opens a canape of crustaceans and it is snot for the faint hearted.

Break out the Jatz and Savoys, slide on a tinned smoked oyster and swear on a stack of Bibles whether you are for or against this party starter from back in the day.

Swanee has been belting out rock classics since he was a wee laddie growing up in Glasgow. As an elder of the hit making Swan/Barnes gene pool, Swanee has lived life to the fullest, but there are some insights he rarely gets a chance to share, like his days as an army chef and pastry cook, his kitchen surprises and secrets for his favourite curries and much-loved trifle.

We also hear the back story to his latest musical masterpiece, a duets album called Believe, where a dream comes true and Swanee records with his brothers Jimmy and Alan Barnes for the first time ever. Swanee is not only a great singer, he is a larrikin, a man of the people and loved and respected across the music industry.

The names might not sound very appertising but the memories they bring are like no other. In the Food Poll this week, the Razz, Glug and the Sunny Boy line up in all their frozen glory, vying for the title of favourite frozen pyramid of the past.

Simon O'Donnell has quite the CV. Former Australian cricket champion, St. Kilda footballer, multi-media personality and leading racehorse owner and breeder.

And with the release of this episode of Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson, he becomes self-appointed Brussels Sprouts Ambassador to the World.

That dry O'Donnell sense of humour shines through this chat with Sarah and Kevin as Simon also names the worst vegetable ever, shares his thoughts on condiments, looks back on his illustrious sporting career and adds some spice to his days in front of the cameras.

The Food Poll this week features a culinary classic - the Quiche Lorraine. Is it a trumped up French tart or an timeless taste treat? It certainly evokes some wonderful, nostalgic memories for our It's Showtime guest Jen Seyderhelm, who shares her family secret to the perfect 'Quiche Jen Lorraine.'

Western Bulldogs star Adam Treloar is a keen foodie and as you will discover, he is as dextrous in the kitchen as he has been on the footy field over the course of his 258 AFL games. Whether it's his slow cooked satay chicken or a secret sweet treat that he has created, Adam can talk the talk and whisk the fork, though his most favourite food will surprise.

The Food Poll this week involves a curious dessert for the ages and from the ages, with its origins dating as far back as 14th century. Are you a yay or a nay for rice pudding?

Little House on the Prairie was a worldwide television phenomenon and its stars became household names. Think Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and our guest this week, Alison Arngrim. Alison played the spoiled, snobbish bully Nellie Oleson. Not exactly the most likeable character on the show, but certainly one of most most talked about.

Here, Alison shares her incredible story of getting the part, how it changed her life - both then and now - and insights from her experiences of being on such a massive hit television show.

Alison loves the kitchen and has a cookbook in the works as well as a treasure trove of YouTube cooking videos, so we also get some very handy kitchen tips from the former restaurateur of Walnut Grove!

Our Food Poll is more British in origin. We ask if the chip butty takes your fancy.
