Guy Fieri loves food. Whether it's owning restaurants, judging competitions, writing books or being a face of the Food Network, he just can't get enough.

Oh yeah, he also loves Spencer Torkelson.

The Food Network aired "Guy's Grocery Games" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, but Fieri wasn't focused on Flavortown. Instead, he was locked in on the 2020 MLB draft to see whether his close friend was selected No. 1 overall by the Detroit Tigers.
