Tommy Winkler (aka The Food Guy) on his favourite food hacks, snacks and social media fame

The Good Food Podcast

What do exploding hard-boiled eggs, homemade French fries and 55 international cuisines have in common? TikTok megastar Tommy Winkler, a.k.a. The Food Guy, of course. In this flavour-packed episode, Tommy joins host Samuel Goldsmith to chat about his rise to foodie fame, starting from goofy TikTok sketches to becoming a global sensation known for outrageous food challenges, prankish snack hacks and his signature "what I eat in a day" videos. He spills the secrets behind balancing insane calorie days with fitness, rage-baiting his followers by eating orange peels and biting forks, and why his girlfriend-slash-creative-partner deserves half the credit (and probably all the snacks).

Plus, hear his candid thoughts on British food (sorry, UK), why potstickers are his ultimate comfort food and which snack he proudly faked at a family party. From microwave disasters to secret sweet tooth confessions – this episode is packed with laughs, insights and some divided opinions. Hit play if you're hungry for behind-the-scenes creator stories, love a bit of foodie chaos or just want to know what the “King of Crunch” thinks of Percy Pigs.
