Eat Australia broke all the rules of TV. And people love it. Its premiere season airing was watched by 2.5million Australians, and it became SBS Food's #1 show for 24-54 year olds.
Eat Australia was born out of the epic digital food/travel series we made in Mexico, Spain & Portugal with Masterchef winner Andy Allen and finalist Ben Milbourne . Those adventures, the onscreen bromance of Andy & Ben, and a hunger to travel this country and literally see (& taste) what’s on its menu, drove the creation of a new 15 part TV series for SBS Food, its first ever local commission. We took the digital approach of ‘in the moment’ to new levels and embraced mistakes with the mantra we’d rather people fall behind than fall asleep. It worked. It became SBS Food’s #1 show skewing 25-55 year olds and to this day we are still told by strangers and friends of friends that it’s the best food show they’ve ever seen. We’ve since made three more chapters, albeit short-form digital content, all of which can be watched on eataustralia.tv
