'race to' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'food and cutlery' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'egg' (egg is a kind of food).
'cutlery' becomes 'spoon' (spoon is a kind of cutlery).
'egg'+'and'+'spoon'='EGG-AND-SPOON'

'get' acts as a link.
