Traitor Joe's?

@Susquehanna - I didn't mean to make TJ sound unethical--sorry if my comment left that impression. TJ is just known to be tough negotiators with manufacturers on price and quality.

What are you famous for?

My artichoke and mushroom lasagna. People always remember it. I posted the recipe here:

Traitor Joe's?

Food manufacturing today is much more centralized than most people realize. Remember how surprised people were with the pet food recall? That so many brands were coming from the same manufacturing plant? The same thing applies to our (human) food.

My dad was in the food business. Trader Joe's whole business model is to contract with third parties--and squeeze them hard on price.
