As he clambers up spice mountain, Goldblum breaks down Jurassic Park lore, discusses his spiritual encounter with Quavo, and delivers the first "11 out of 10 Goldblums" rating of his life.
Surprise! Even though Season 6 just came to a close last week with Jeff "Daddy" Goldblum, we couldn't truly close it out without an extra bonus for the fans: the long-awaited reunion special with one of our favorite all-time guests, Eddie Huang. Last time, Eddie infamously started his spice journey at level 10, crashing and burning in epic fashion. For his second showdown with the wings of death, he brings a different strategy to the table and talks about everything from Anthony Bourdain's mentorship, to outrageous chef fashions. Welcome back to the hot seat, Eddie!
