Hunt is on for the country's best toastie

From Nine To Noon, 11:30 am on 11 August 2025

The Great New Zealand Toastie Takeover competition now has its 13 finalists. Susie talks to Becs Caughey, who's the co-creator of the competition, which saw the judging panel munching their way around the 208 toasties on offer this year. She'll explain how the humble toastie has gone above and beyond the usual ham and cheese - with some incredibly unusual offerings vying for the top spot.

And you, listeners, have a chance to try them out until August 20...when the supreme winner is announced.
