Why We Stan Grocery Stores
Episode description
Chances are, you've got a favorite grocery store. Whether it's the employees, the childhood nostalgia of a hometown market, or the unique products that make yours great, everyone seems to have that one grocery store they're obsessed with. Stores all over the country have built cult followings, and we wanted to know: what is it about the grocery store that we love so much? Jaya Saxena joins us to lay out her theory, and then we hear from Eater's editors about their favorite places across the country. Did yours make the list?
Then, we get into the biggest food stories of the week, from the "chicken parm bro" phenomenon, to an ill-advised take on poutine and how Amanda found herself deep in Daniel's credit card receipts and more.
