Have you ever heard of a tiny, relatively unknown, highly specialized food chain called Trader John’s -- no, that’s not it. Trader Jane’s! Yes! That’s it --wait, no it’s not. Joe’s! Trader Joe’s! That’s it! Kate and Rick take you through their favorite items, and talk about what makes Trader Joe’s an exceptional choice for your shopping needs (and no, Trader Joe’s did not sponsor this episode, but we're batting our eyes at them!). You’ll get tips about things you may have overlooked, and great ideas for staples and snacks to fill your pantry. Also, Rick and Kate share dishes involving a lot of basil and an entire stick of butter in the What I Ate segment!
