Now Lord Alan Sugar’s latest recruits for The Apprentice are apparently doing exactly that, having been spotted filming at Grodzinski’s in Stamford Hill.
The quartet of smartly-dressed candidates seemed deep in negotiations with manager Volvi Kuperstein at the kosher bakery, when cast and crew turned up on Tuesday.
While the contents of the boxes remain unknown, Grodzinski’s is particularly noted for its challah, as well as its babka, bagels and sweet patisseries.
The sighting of candidates out and about and making deals will no doubt come as good news to fans eagerly anticipating the new series of the hit BBC show.
Speaking ahead of the last series, Lord Sugar told the Jewish News that he still gets a “great buzz” from helping young entrepreneurs, more than a decade since the popular BBC show first began.
“There are winners and losers in this process, but for the winners it’s changed their lives – and that’s what I do this for.
“I enjoy watching these young people grow a business from scratch, which is what I did 50 odd years ago. For the winners, it’s changed their lives. They are doing very, very well. They’ve bought houses, got married and had families. They’ve got security and they’re employing people and that’s what motivates me to keep going with it.”
Leah Totton, winner of the 2013 series, is reportedly on track to make her first million with her drop-in cosmetic surgeries, while Tom Pellereau, winner of the seventh series, has seen his Stylfile nail care product firm generate a turnover of £1.5 million.
Meanwhile last year’s winner, Alana Spencer, has just unveiled her website and subscription service for her luxury cake brand, Ridiculously Rich.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
