Cooking shows may not be as wasteful as you might think.

So naturally, you may have thought to yourself, Where is the rest of that food going?

The crew doesnt just throw it out after, do they?

Dont worry: Food connection stars detest food waste as much as we do.

I remember someonenot me, because I don’t waste breadwanted to cut the crust off.

And you were like, Excuse me?

Where’s the bread going?

We paid for the whole loaf!

It does get eaten, Biegel shares.

There’s a crew of, like, 70, 80 people that are there eating the food.

So there is very little waste.

One hundred percent, and let me tell you, how many times have we taken food home?

We love that the stars prioritize mitigating food waste on set by saving it for later or donating it.
