We Tried Trader Joe’s (Korean) Potato Cheese Sticks

The thing about Trader Joe's calling these Potato Cheese Sticks is, it's probably to be more accurate for food labeling. Because while Pulmone calls them Potato and Cheese Corn Dogs, there's no actual hot dog involved. Any which way, they're delicious. TJ's version comes as a 4-pack, individually wrapped. I threw them in…

We Tried Trader Joe’s New Spicy Alfredo Fusilloni

When I first saw Trader Joe's Spicy Alfredo Fusilloni, I thought it might similar to Eric Kim's gochujang buttered noodles in the NYT. But the truth is although this pasta gets its kick from a gochujang sauce, Trader Joe's named this one right. It truly is an alfredo sauced pasta, so it's more like mac…
