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 RUclips 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.

Hi team, you can purchase tickets to the 2023 Onehunga Culinary Crawl here: onehunga.net.nz/culinary-crawl It will be a delicious night- get in quick! Hope you enjoy this new series. Big love, Thomas & Sheena
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 I love your look vibrancy and offers of foody scrumptiousness. Up and close.
Thank you so much❤❤❤😊
Thanks so much for watching Ana! Hope you get a chance to try Lucky Gs- their burgers are next level 😍Cheers, Sheena
Great timing with this video - I've been racking my brain of where to take my nephew out for a special dinner meal and I'm gonna hit up Lucky G's and then dessert at Duck Island - thank you for outing these Auckland food gems, I love supporting local eateries, keep up the awesome work
Perfect night out! Our dream line up really. Enjoy! Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Those burgers! Smashed to perfection. The pides! Lamb is my jam. And the ice cream. Bury me with a pint of the peppermint slice, please. Little Zadie ate so well in utereo. 🙌😘
She did right?! 😆 explains her huge appetite now! We’ve created a monster 🤣 I’m a sucker for mint ice-cream! And OMG those burgers, I’ll be making a beeline for Lucky Gs when we’re next in Auckland! Thanks for watching Michael and thank you for the gorgeous messages for the 3 of us 💜💜💜 Sheena 😘
I live just around the corner from Lucky G's and didn't know it existed! Talk about low profile! Anyway I called in for a test taste earlier this week. The Thigh Guy was really nice. I'm going back to try the Twice As Nice and maybe some fried chicken tonight. Thanks for pointing me to these guys.
That’s so awesome Ian! Hope you enjoyed the Twice as Nice- that’s my go to 🙌 we can’t wait to get back for a feed again soon- lucky you living so close. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Been ordering from them for ages and still one of my three top places to order burgers.
SO good eh?! We love them too. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Usually I can pick a favourite in a line up like this. I'm tied between Thomas twice as nice and the boat shaped pita. I just loved the setup in that guys truck, were he was making the dough and rolling it out with that almost washing machine rollers machine. Obviously custom made. You guys throw so much at us every video, I have to go back and watch them a couple of times. That's going to be one lucky baby.
She’s going to eat well isn’t she? 😆 Love that the dough is rolled out on the spot and the oven in the back of the truck. Wood Spirit is a special food truck! Thanks for watching this one mate, hope you’re well. Cheers, Sheena
it's so good to sometimes see u go silent for a few seconds. i know the feeling. when u eat AGAIN something u love and it's just like in ur memories
So true! Well said mate. Thanks for watching this one- you’d love these burgers for sure! Cheers, Sheena
So nice to see you and your family growing! Food looks awesome, as usual.
Thanks so much! 3 chasers now 🙌 thanks for watching. Thomas 😀
That food honestly looks like some of the best ive seen in a very long time 😊🎉
And it all tasted amazing! Thanks for watching Helen, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Those burgers are mouth watering! And to top it off, that pita. Just the sound of him chopping/cutting it into pieces. I think I am now drooling 😊
Hope you had a snack on hand Janet! Thanks for watching this one. Cheers, Sheena
As an American I can finally hear the difference between the Aussie and Kiwi accent - 99% of it sounds the same to me except how Kiwi's pronounce Es as Is. So hidden GEM becomes hidden JIM!
😆😆😆😆
Hahaah I reckon we sound so different to our Aussie neighbours.
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
We are about to be in Auckland in a few days and we definitely need to check these places out!! We miss you guys! More food videos please!
That’s so awesome guys! Can’t wait for you to explore the food scene 💜 Fingers crossed we can get back into it soon- can’t wait! Cheers, Sheena
Arrrgh! I broke my own #1 rule for watching your videos! DO NOT WATCH ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Watching Thomas chomp into that burger, and Sheena into that fried chicken had me almost drowning in saliva. Now my stomach is growling and grumbling, because I'm so far away from anything even close to that. Now I'll have to try to forget that deliciousness, and fill the void with my go-to favorite yum, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella with crusty bread. Hugs to you both and a snuggle for little Zaida, for such a lovely peek at hidden gems.
So much yum in this one! Your snack sounds tasty as. Could do one of those myself right now. Thanks so much for watching this one. Have a great day. Thomas 😀
You know the best burgers ever! Nothing beats a great smash burger❤ Congratulations again on the newest edition to the team!!!! 😊 Enjoy your time getting to know baby girl! 👶 ❤
Love these ones so much. They’re amazing. Thanks so much for your congratulations Jo. Cheers, Thomas 😀
That Thigh Guy burger looks soooo good!
Omg I’m not usually a chicken burger kinda gal but this was knock your socks off! Thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
I was in Auckland and I didn’t know about this😵. Thanks for sharing. Love it.
So glad there are some new spots for you to try in this video mate! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Man those smash burgers looked amazing! Can't believe they were hidden away in Westech Place lol. Great finds from you guys. Thanks for sharing!
They’re so great mate! We’re big fans! Thanks for watching and hope you had a great long weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks guys another fantastic series, i spend a lot of time cleaning my computer screen of dribble watching the food you are showing us , I have to get off my arse and get over to
Auckland to see you both , cheers Alister in OZ.
🤣🤣🤣 just like Thomas when he’s editing! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
My friends think I know all the good spots to eat - but honestly, it's just because I watch your videos 😀 so thank you! I can't wait to try the burgers and pide!! (I already know and love Duck Island). I especially love the little places which are all about the quality food and not the hype.
I love this April 😍😆👊 Absolute pleasure! We’re all about sharing the love! Hope you enjoy both those spots- you’re in for a treat! Oh gosh I feel like eating everything in this video again 🤤 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Great content , honestly those burgers remind me so much of the Hungry Horse burger joint on Manners Street in Wellington in the early 70’s (long gone) , simple food done well.
So glad you enjoyed the video Chris! And glad it brought back great memories of an old school joint 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
For those more than $50 worth of gas away from Auckland, there is a Duck Island parlour in Wellington as well.
(Just found this channel and I love it so far).
Hi Jake, ah yes, forgot to mention the Wellington outpost, thanks for that 😄 Wouldn’t mind a tub or two of Duck Island right about now! Thanks for watching and we’re so happy you’re enjoying our content. Cheers, Sheena
Can’t wait to try all the places y’all have suggested in Auckland. I’m visiting in July for the first time and I am so excited 🎉
Awesome mate! 😍 you’re gonna eat so well- Auckland has such a great food scene. Thanks for watching and following along! Cheers, Sheena
Places that *you have suggested. We dont say yall in NZ
@@patrickwilson183 not everyone’s from NZ mate. Also I’ve heard people say that here and who cares what language other people use when it’s completely harmless. Absolutely fine for people to say y’all in our comments. Go crazy saying y’all y’all! Thomas
Great Moves! Keep it up!
Will do! So much yum food. Thanks for watching. Thomas
Those burgers are amazing. I need to check out this weekend.
Do it! 😍👊 they’re so delicious and the team are awesome! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
I've just finished lunch and I'm hungry all over again! 😋
Me too Rob! I wouldn’t mind a burger right about now. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Your bubba's feasting on some mighty kai.👍🙏 Congratulations on your new edition to your lives.
Thanks so much mate! Hahah she has done very well so far right?! Thanks for watching this one, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Love Duck Island… been going to their Ham East store for about 5 or 6yrs. Love their peanut butter cookie dough, white chocolate pomegranate macadamia and boysenberry cheesecake! Yum! 😁
Omg I love their white chocolate pomegranate and macadamia too 😍 I’m always a fan of their seasonal specials too. One of the first spots I’m gonna hit up when we’re next in Tāmaki! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
Wow that's a knock your socks off episode 👌 im not sure if Ive ever seen better burgers....i cant help but visualise Thomas being asked to leave at closing time 🤣🤣🤣
Haha I’d happily sit there all day! Thanks heaps for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Definitely on the down-low. I live 500m from the Oranga joint and I did not know it was there. Will have to check it out this week... if it's open?
Lucky!! I’m so envious! Stan is great at updating hours on their Instagram page so if in doubt check there! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
Sheena you and Thomas are fantastic couple, introducing everyone such excellent food places to eat.
Aww thanks Mary! So glad you’re enjoying our content- we love showcasing great food made by awesome people! Thanks for watching 😍 Cheers, Sheena

2 fat buns Waiheke Island is where it's at. Voted #1 in Auks and there's even a burger for the vegan folk to enjoy as well YUM😋
We haven’t been over to Waiheke in so long! Will pop it on the list to check out when we next get over. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
It's breakfast time here in the UK, but I need one of those lucky G's burgers already!
I always have cravings for them! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Seriously Sheena & Thomas you really NEED to go to Chopper Diner in Albany! Been saying it for a while now haha. So we need to see a video from you going there. Tell them your subscribers sent you there ☺
😆 there are so many restaurants and not enough time! I remember you recommending it a while ago now mate. Hopefully we’ll get there one day! 🤞 thanks for watching this one, hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
Man that burger looks good. I’ll have to try
It’s so delicious. Hope you get to visit them soon. Thanks for watching. Thomas
Yum! That red powder might be sumac? Love that spice for adding a bit of lemony zing and color.
Love sumac! Just checked and it's called İsot from the south eastern region of Turkey or urfa biber. Delicious stuff. Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
Neat a new chili I need to try;)
One word "Choice".
Couldn’t agree more! 👊
Fantastic video ❤. Lots of love from India
Big love back to India mate! So happy you enjoyed this one 💜 We were just reminiscing about our travels in India the other day- can’t wait to return- hopefully soon! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
try double ds just south of Auckland.massive burgers
Heard about those but haven’t made it. Hopefully one day soon. Cheers, Thomas
Those burgers looked pretty good, but in all honesty,and with vast experience eating burgers around the world, Compton Burgers here in Perth,are visually better,and lean more towards the American style. Wish I could share some photos with you. My offer still stands ,if you come to Perth,I will take you there ,my shout. Good to see the standard of burgers has massively improved back home in NZ though.
Years ago,back in Rotorua,there was a Gourmet Burger shop,decades ahead of its time. It was called Rapscallions, they had Venison,Ostriches, Fish,beef,Chicken and Lamb,and they were sublime.
Forgot crispy Pork Belly as well.
There are so many awesome burger joints here now mate! And there are loads more we still have to visit although that’s no hardship 😄 That Rotorua spot does sound like it was ahead of its time. Thanks again for the kind invitation if we’re ever in Perth! Thanks for watching this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena
WOW AWESOME FOOD GUY'S ✌️💜🥀🕊️
So yum! Thanks for watching. Thomas 😀
As a burger fanatic I can say the best burgers ive had in Auckland is a place called The Grind. Its on the way to Kumeu. Will try that place tomorrow as I live around the corner.
Awesome mate, will have to look them up! Hope you enjoy Lucky Gs! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Yummy 😋
Sure was! Thanks for watching. Thomas
OMG the food looks amazing i think i will take my staff their for a kai, yummio
Bet they’d love it! 😍 thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy the rest of our Tāmaki series! Cheers, Sheena
Don't you look so cute! Helping you are having a very happy and healthy pregnancy. Congratulations!
Thanks so much! Just gave birth to a little girl: Zadie 😄 looking forward to getting back into it with her in tow! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
I'll be dropping my wife, pescatarian, to the airport for a trip home and I'll be headed straight here for a smash burger. By god. Thanks for the videos, we went STRAIGHT to Ras Vatika when we got out of MIQ last year, inspiring a summer holiday to Inida. 40 nights! We stayed at Kohu Kohu... awh must be a load of breweries, Russel.. places up north. Peaches! NZ.. look it is expensive here but by god so much culture and food. I have a dominion road recommendation and several wine options too around Matakana if you're interested. All the best to you both.
Hi mate, thanks so much for watching and for heading out to support some of the spots in our videos 😄 Lucky Gs is awesome- delicious food and a passionate team. You’re right- it is expensive here but we have so much great variety and the quality of food is generally very high. Would love to know your favourites on Dom Rd- we eat along that strip often. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Lovely Yumo
So much deliciousness! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Cool
you have to check out smash burger in manurewa just opened when you guys posted this video
Awesome Drew! Thanks for the recommendation! So many burgers so little time 😂 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
One hunga up the road from Man gere.
Both great spots 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
I'm here to shout out Big js takeaways in Auckland ❤
Been meaning to eat there for ages. Hopefully we can try it one day soon. Cheers, Thomas
Gotta love middle eastern food 👍👌✌️👏💁
Delicious! Such a cool food truck. Thanks for watching. Thomas 😀
I also really like hamburgers, it tastes good😋
So good right! Thanks for watching. Thomas
I like Shenna wearing her blue dress when she was pregnant with a baby .❤
Thanks mate!
🍔😋👍
Thanks for watching Michael! Cheers, Sheena
That looks sooo good
So good! Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas 😀
Hmmm pita or burger.....pita or burger..... Can you find a pita burger joint please???? Really loved the vlog. Everything looked so fantastic very jealous 😢😢😢😢😢
Haha good call. That would be yum. Some of our videos from Belgrade have that sort of thing going on. Really good. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas 😀
@@ChasingaPlate Hey your Welcome I so Happy for the two of you with new to CAP!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are you guys okay I haven't seen a video posted in a month God bless
Thanks so much for your concern mate! Our wee baby has a couple of health challenges so we’re just dealing with those but hopefully will be able to get back into filming soon 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Advert at the start $80 a head. Me : ' I wonder how much a plane ticket from Melbourne to Auckland is'
Watched the video Me :I want to eat the burger dreams are made of.
Ps Currently perusing the Onetravel site😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I love this!!! 👊 thanks for watching Kel! Cheers, Sheena xxx
Nau mai, hoki mai
Thanks for watching John! Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Can you find a good paella place in Auckland?
They’d be a number of places serving paella around Auckland. Google maps would be your best bet. Cheers, Thomas
Yum , commenting before I watch , for the algorithm,
Congratulations on a wonder new family
Member , I hope sheena
Had a safe delivery
Awww thanks mate! I had a great delivery and was very well looked after post natally at the hospital so I feel very lucky. Thanks so much for your sweet well wishes 💜 And we hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Stan fine af
He’s an awesome dude! Thanks for watching!
Pepper is Urfa Biber?
I don’t think it was, it was a type we’d never heard of or tastes before from memory 🧐 thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
You were right mate! I got confused as Yigit called it İsot which is also known as Urfa Biber 😄👊
@@ChasingaPlate Ah, it did look like it was, thanks for confirming! And thanks for all the amazing content and my warmest wishes to your growing family!
Me MIKEY no sugar tooth pain 😭
What a sad guys hiding from the poly's 😂
🤪🤪🤪 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena is pregnant and going to have a baby ❤
Lucky G's is good not great, but it is a smash burger and you can only climb so high in with a smashed patty. The new wagu looks dry and over cooked, but maybe he ordered it that way.
It wasn’t dry but we take a while when filming so it had to sit for a bit before being eaten! We love Lucky G’s- the people, the food, the passion- it all makes for a great place to get a feed. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Kinda weird seeing you Sheena pregnant on this video and seeing your Instagram knowing u gave birth to a beautiful girl. I would say get plenty of rest/sleep, but know that is impossible right now, look after yourself and look forward to more videos. Thanks
Haha it is weird! Trying to rest when possible but the pressure of having to rest when Zadie is means it’s impossible to rest 😂 Thanks for watching mate and hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena is still pregnant and she is going to have a baby girl.
I'm going to guess that Thomas is a Libra and Sheena is a Gemini.
Nope. Thanks heaps for watching. Cheers, Thomas
@@ChasingaPlate What are your actual signs?
Definite hot spot. 5min away from my house
😍😍😍 JEALOUS!!! I’d be there way too often if we lived that close! Thanks for watching, hope you embed this one. Cheers, Sheena
What happened 🤔
Sheena is still pregnant and her tummy will get bigger.
Our wee baby girl Zadie has arrived! One month old now 😄
Do you guys ever eat anything you don't like?? ........ I love your positivity but really?? ....... can every place you go be sooo good??
Hi. We spend hours researching by reading, eating etc so always make sure we eat amazing food in the videos. If it’s not up to standard we quietly put the camera away and stop recording. This is a positive channel and who are we to bad mouth hard working people if we feel something isn’t so good. We’d rather just not show it and find something else that is amazing and celebrate it and the people making it. Thanks for watching. Thomas
We do 😄 but this channel is about celebrating great food so we don’t put the energy into bagging small businesses that aren’t creating food that is to our tastes. We only showcase spots we truly love. We’re also super into researching great spots before we eat and film as it’s a waste of time and money otherwise in my books- so we don’t often have bad meals- perhaps mediocre ones occasionally but not too often. And we wouldn’t show them on here 😄 Hope that answers your question Colin. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
I hope there will be more of Chasing a plate with Thomas and Sheena pregnant with the baby inside her tummy.
went here today, it was alright...nothing special.
That’s a shame for you. We’ve been a number of times and it’s always amazing. Thanks for watching. Thomas.
It's called Auckland, just call it Auckland
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Just call it Auckland.
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is a great food city. Thanks for watching. Thomas
Good burgers but extremely over priced
So good aren’t they. I don’t think they’re over priced at all. They use very good ingredients and as you say the burgers are really good so it’s worth it. Food costs are very high at the moment and a shop like this isn’t immune to those price hikes when they’re buying their ingredients. Thanks for watching. Thomas.
Who sells New Zealand's best pies? I think it is LAKE FARM PIES!
Must check them out! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
are you finished making youtube videos?
Hi Paul. No note at all. We’ve just had a baby so have needed to take a wee break. We’re still active on Instagram and will be posting RUclips videos again very soon. Sorry about no videos for a while and thanks for your patience. Cheers, Thomas
@@ChasingaPlate nice it'll be good to see you back.
