New Food Format to Debut on SBS in Early 2025

Shaun Murphy’s Big Owl Pictures, Globe Wealth founder Alexandra Jakob and Australian chef and restauranteur Matt Moran have teamed up to launch the new food format series Memory Bites with Matt Moran.

Set to air and stream in early 2025 on SBS Food and SBS On-Demand in Australia, the show will see Moran dive into the personal and emotional histories of well-known Australians, exploring their life stories through the lens of food. BBC Studios will represent the format globally and distribute the series.

“Memory Bites is a beautiful format,” said Moran. “There’s nothing quite like seeing someone’s face light up when they take a bite of a dish, once cooked by someone they love, that transports them back to a moment in time. It’s a unique and warm way to share the connection between food and memory.”

“It’s exciting to bring a fresh food format to the global market,” added Murphy, Big Owl Pictures founder and executive producer on the series. “Memory Bites takes us on an emotional journey through food, connects us with some of Australia’s most beloved personalities in a new way and gives us a chance to pause, look back at our loved ones, and tap into our own individual ‘Memory Bites’.”
