• I'm a restaurant owner who shops at Trader Joe's for high-quality snacks and quick meals.
• I love the store's ranch-seasoned cashews, Thai wheat noodles, and chicken gyoza potstickers.
• The Everything But The Bagel seasoned smoked salmon and lobster bisque always end up in my cart.
As a restaurant and bar owner in New York City, I spend most of my days refining menus. Unfortunately, though, as fun and fulfilling as my job can be, it's turned me into a picky shopper — one who's unwilling to compromise on quality for the sake of convenience.
That's why I love turning to Trader Joe's for my own personal shopping. I find the store offers a great variety of high-quality items, from produce and snacks to ingredients for quick meals.
Here are my must-have items from Trader Joe's that always end up in my cart.
