Why We Stan Grocery Stores
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.
Stories:
• How Chicken Parm Became an Aphrodisiac
• Are Alt-Milks Taking Out Big Milk?
• An Arby's Tried to Ban Children

Inside the World of a Cookbook Ghostwriter
Turns out, lots of chefs aren't as great at writing as they are at cooking. So how do they bring their culinary visions to the pages of a cookbook? With help from people like JJ Goode, who help them translate their stories and recipes for home cooks. JJ joined Amanda and Daniel in studio to talk about how he got into the world of cookbook ghostwriting, and why even as a self-proclaimed lazy cook, he still loves checking out wildly difficult recipes.
Then, we get into the biggest stories of the week, from a super expensive strawberry, to an alt milk burn, and a definitive ranking of all the best iced coffee drinks out there.
