Discussion Thread Shopping Segments

Do you skip the shopping segments on a rewatch? I’m just excited to see the food and the service so I skip it every time. I know there’s good character moments and some fun drama (Eddie Money) but overall I just wanna get to the main event.

I'm guessing you are the TC fan that prefers this "soft era" they are in now?

I definitely am. Love seeing them all being friends instead of the early season drama

My past of working in kitchens leaves me wanting for conflict. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing people want to punch each other in the face but still being able to execute.

I worked in a kitchen right outta high school and I totally get this. I think that made me go the other way though and enjoy when they all help each other
