Meet The Trader Joe’s Virgin

Radio Cherry Bombe

If you’re part of the Trader Joe’s fan club, you might find it hard to believe that our host, Cherry Bombe founder Kerry Diamond, has never shopped at the famous grocery chain. On this episode, Kerry makes up for lost time and visits her local Trader Joe’s in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, along with assistant producer Jenna Sadhu to learn all about the chain’s popular mix of product and price point, and why Trader Joe’s is so obsessed with pumpkin and snacks. Jenna shares the history of the beloved brand and she and Kerry walkthrough cult-fave products including Speculoos Cookie Butter and Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning. Kerry shares what she tossed in her shopping cart and what gets her thumb’s up and thumb’s down. Thank you to Kerrygold butter and cheese made with milk from Irish grass-fed cows, and to Ace Hotel Brooklyn. For 15% off your stay, use code cherryb.
