He also gives his advice for how he overcomes language barriers and his most memorable meal to-date. Simon shares his personal philosophy on eating and consuming in a thoughtful way and his thoughts on food waste. He dives into his time on Guy’s Grocery Games and his honest and passionate approach to judging, his experience on the latest season of Tournament of Champions as a co-floor reporter and his thoughts on this season’s fierce winner.
