      It’s not, lol. Most of these items are okay at best. We keep them on hand in our freezer when we are in a pinch or stay in to party and know we won’t be able to drive anywhere. None of it is great.

      While his comments can seem like he’s over-sensationalizing, those items are actually good. I didn’t agree with his rating on the chicken karaage though, considering it came from the frozen section it’s impressive and tastes good

    I'm probably the only person here that feels this way, but my local Trader Joe's is a mad max dystopian hellscape. There's no parking, the aisles are so narrow, you can barely pass another cart, and there's literally no fresh food -- everything is either frozen or shelf stable. There are some things I'd like to try, but I don't have the time to go to a store that offers nothing but processed food.
