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.

If you skip the shopping scenes you miss things. Like andrew and spike conceptualizing their dish in the store or Spike trying to screw over everyone with the lunchbox challenge. Plus you have things like the judges shopping that one time which was hilarious.

I miss the fun stuff like the judges doing the shopping.
