Synopsis

Intro

Anthony is walking in the back alleys, when Ian appears. He demands a rematch, but Anthony revealed he burned down the last two Food Battle houses. They decide to go to a strangers house and use it as the base; which, coincidentally, belongs to the Food Battle Announcer and his grandfather. With Anthony pulling out his food of the year, a chocolate covered banana, and Ian with his Pink Frosted Sprinkled Donut, Food Battle X begins.

A Machete Used to Shave A Beard Like A Man

Anthony gets chocolate all over his face trying to shave. Result: Fail

Ian tries to use a real machete to shave, but slices his head off clean. Anthony finds the head and screams. Result: Fail

A Fine Wine

Ian tastes his doughnut, and after many mouth noises, deems it marvelous. Result: Pass

Anthony tries his banana, and thinks he isn't too much of a lightweight. He then pukes immediately. Result: Pass

Baby

Ian tells his doughnut he will change his diaper for him, and expects a little doughnut bulge when he does. When he does, the doughnut pee's on his face. Ian is happy at first, but after awhile, he wonders if it was worth it. Result: Pass

Anthony forces his banana to become a baby, and then Sergeant Anous appears out of nowhere and tells him he doesn't deserve to raise a child, and calls him a baby shaker. After Anthony receives his check, Anous runs away with the banana, calls him a bad parent, drops the banana, steps on it, says "OH SH*T!" and runs away. Result: Pass

Bubble Bath

Anthony betted his chocolate covered banana can be a bubble bath, but quickly changes his mind when they have to use the Food Battle announcer's Grandpa's bathroom.

Track Hurdles

Anthony puts his banana on the ground, and steps over it. Result: Pass

Ian jumps over his donut. After he receives his checkmark, a famous Viner on a balancing scooter yells at Ian to get out the way. Ian gets hit, but the famous Viner is safe from the impact thanks to his famous Viner abs. He then continues onward to make some racist Vines. Result: Pass

Dating App

Ian swipes on the frosting of his donut, but keeps finding girls that looks like donuts. Result: Fail

Anthony uses his banana to text a random hot girl to come over. When she comes over, she asks if she's there just to be in the video's thumbnail. Ian and Anthony heavily deny this, and get slapped by the hot girl as a result. Both apologize after getting slapped. Result: Fail

Healthy Smoothie

Ian in a bra (as a result of the last round) walks over to the blender and nearly trips over the waxed floor. Ian claims it was a close one, but immediately trips over the Food Battle Announcer's Grandpa and kills him. Ian's donut then flips in the air and lands in his mouth. Ian dies as he is choking on the donut.

Anthony does not take his turn due to Ian getting killed.

Ending

The Food Battle announcer walks into the kitchen and approaches Anthony in a bra (also as a result to the dating app round) holding a smothie in his hand. The announcer briefly moans about his dead grandpa, then forgets about him and asks Anthony what he will do next. Anthony states he will burn the Food Battle announcer's house down. The announcer asks if he can come. Afterwards, the Food Battle Announcer watches his house burn with Anthony and wonders why he agreed to these things. Anthony then puts his arm around the announcer and they continue to watch his house burn.

Trivia

The X in the title takes the place of the usual year number because it is the roman numeral for the number 10, indicating that this is Smosh's tenth installment of Food Battle.
This is Anthony's first Food Battle victory since Food Battle 2012.
Each food had an animated "interview" video with each food being voiced by a Smosh actor or actress (Courtney Miller, Olivia Sui, Shayne Topp, Keith Leak II and Noah Grossman).
In the begining of the video, Ian said that he wanted a rematch, but technically, he is the one who won Food Battle last year.
The clothes Ian and Anthony are wearing in this Food Battle could be homage to Food Battle 2006. In that battle, Ian was wearing a blue evil shredder shirt, and Anthony was wearing a plain red shirt. In this battle, Ian is wearing a very bright blue collared shirt with a gray undershirt, and Anthony is wearing a darker red shirt with black stripes and a pocket.
Shayne Topp was the only new Smosh member in this battle.
This was the first Food Battle since Food Battle 2013 where Ian or Anthony died in a challenge instead of purposely murdering each other (in this year's case, it was Ian)
Only one of the previous Food Battle challenges was brought back (smoothie from Food Battle 2008).
This is Sergeant Anous' first Food Battle appearance since Food Battle 2013.
Ian chokes on his donut two times in this Food Battle. The first time was when he shoved the donut into his mouth after he insulted Anthony, and the logo appeared. After the logo disappeared, Ian is seen choking on his donut. Luckily, Anthony gave him the Heimlich Maneuver before it was too late. The second time is when Ian slipped on the waxed kitchen floor on his way to the smoothie challenge. The donut flew into the air and landed in Ian's mouth. Ian, once again, started choking on his donut, but since no one was around to give him the Heimlich Maneuver, he died.
The song in the background of the subscribe part of the video (which, in the case of Food Battle, is also known as the Evil Barney ending) is the Smosh Games theme music. The same song was also used in the same part of the video in Food Battle 2009.
With that being said, this is the first Food Battle where Evil Barney has a longer speech in the part of the video where it says "HEY KIDS!".
The baby challenge could be a reference to Worst Parents Ever, a Smosh video uploaded earlier in 2015.

This is the second year that Food Battle wasn't filmed at Ian's mom's house and the first time that it wasn't filmed at the Smosh house. However, they didn't want to bother Ian's parents so they did it somewhere else again. It is unknown whether the house is actually the announcer's, or people who already lived there had to agree to move out for a bit so they could shoot this Food Battle.
This was the first Food Battle where the last name of the actual man who plays the Food Battle Announcer (Brian Rassmussen) is shortened. (It is seen as "Brian Ras".)
The "SHUT UP!" opening represents the Smosh 10th Anniversary Week.
This was the Food Battle with the least amount of challenges. (The bubble bath challenge was not taken.)
This year's episode returns to the pre-2014 tradition of Ian and Anthony BOTH failing the first task.
The burnt down Smosh house scene is used in Gamer Gets Troll'd!
The burnt down Ian's Mom's house scene is also used for the Breaking Bad house in If TV Shows Were Real 2.
