"Chefs shopped for arena-challenge ingredients at a Whole Foods where a grocery run turned into a moment of conflict — two cooks discovered they were both making chicken & waffles, and one pulling a generic boxed waffle mix sparked a debate over homemade versus boxed batter. The store also served as a casual respite for a contender who relaxed by eating sushi in the on-site cafe while exempt from the next round, illustrating how the supermarket functioned as both a sourcing hub and a brief comfort zone during the scramble." - Greg Morabito
