So Southern California-born Trader Joe's goes to Manhattan, and Manhattan, in the words of a Gawker poster, is "wetting pants in anticipation of bargain-basement wasabi peas."
Bon appetit, Manhattan! Oh, and while we love Trader Joe's, don't bother trying the whole wheat ravioli with herb chicken. It's bland and some of the herbs have little twiggy stems. Go for the gyoza instead. Classic.




Indeed, most of trader joes is great, but I would also recommend staying away from their ground meat products: quality, as far as treatment of animals and no chemical additives, but bits of gristle and bone are the norm. Just makes it hard to enjoy. I recommend the stuffed pork chops, for those non-Kosher-eaters out there, or stuffed salmon, instead.
