My Dad Bought a Pastry Shop… None of Us Knew How to Make Lebanese Sweets (Balha's Pastry)

How do you take over an iconic pastry shop when nobody in your family actually knows how to make sweets? This week, Dub and Nectro sit down with Mohammed behind Balha’s Pastry, the Sydney Road institution that has been serving Lebanese sweets to Melbourne for 25 years. They reveal how the family unexpectedly purchased the business just before 2020, survived the sudden drop in customers and managed to get their products into 50 supermarkets within only a few weeks. They also unpack the story behind the viral fruit-shaped ice creams, how the venture came about, and staying true to their brand by making sure they all taste great. Plus, what happens to the leftover sweets at closing time, why Ramadan is ten times busier, the secret behind stretchy Middle Eastern mastic ice cream, Lebanese wedding food, Melbourne’s best local restaurants and why an $80 fragrance can make you smell like you spent $500.

This week on The Food Guys Podcast, Dub and Nectro are joined by Chris William, better known online as Limitless, The Calorie Guy, and the man who somehow turned Krispy Kreme donuts into a unit of measurement. Chris opens up about his journey from online coaching and Limitless Training to building Bite Bro, including the brutal reality of sinking around $1.5 million and five years into an app that never launched. He talks honestly about business mistakes, ego, losing focus, rebuilding, and why those failures ultimately led to the version of his brand people know today. The boys also get into the viral Krispy Kreme comparisons, the story behind Chris’s KFC Big Bro Combo, why he doesn’t believe in traditional “cheat meals,” and how his content has helped people lose serious weight while still eating food they enjoy. Plus, Chris shares wild travel stories from Japan, Singapore, Bali and Vietnam, his food poisoning disaster overseas, his love for carrot cake, energy drinks, YouTube, creator collabs, and why making fitness funny might be the best way to actually help people. @lmtlsstraining [https://www.instagram.com/lmtlsstraining] Thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast!
