Okay, hear me out. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, right? You’re probably thinking, What on earth do these guys have to do with Auckland’s food scene? But trust me, they’re connected. Kind of. The boxing world’s latest obsession with these two has got everyone hyped, and somehow, Auckland’s foodie culture is vibing with it too.
Because what’s better than a big fight night? Big food to go with it.
Fight Night, But Make It Delicious
Fight nights are no longer just about chips, dips, and yelling at the TV. In Auckland, they’re becoming full-on foodie events. We’re talking burgers so juicy they should come with a towel, spicy wings that hit harder than Tyson, and cocktails named after Jake Paul (something fruity and flashy, of course).
Restaurants are getting creative, and honestly, I’m here for it. Who wouldn’t want to photograph a platter that looks like it’s been through 12 rounds and still comes out a winner? Food that punches you in the taste buds but also looks ridiculously good on Instagram. That’s my jam.
Food Photography, but Make It a Fight Scene
Now, here’s where I come in. My job is to make sure that BBQ rib looks like it could take on the world. Dramatic lighting? Check. Saucy close-ups? Double-check. I want people to see these photos and think, Forget the fight, I need that burger in my life.
Capturing food is like boxing, in a way. Timing is everything. The sauce drip, the steam curl, the perfect lighting. And when it all comes together? Knockout.
Auckland’s Food Scene: The Underdog Turned Champ
Here’s the thing about Auckland—it’s the underdog that keeps winning. Just like Jake Paul somehow went from YouTube to actual boxing. (Still not sure how that happened, but hey, here we are.) Our cafes and restaurants are always stepping up their game, surprising us with new flavors, cool menus, and vibes that just hit right.
From Ponsonby’s trendy hotspots to hidden gems in the suburbs, the food scene here is unstoppable. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want to be a part of that?

Food, fights, and a photographer who just really loves a good burger? Now that’s a winning combo.
