Guys! I’m speaking at my own graduation in a month. I’m the undergraduate psychology commencement speaker at UofM!! That has nothing to do with the vid but babish said to tell him somthing and that’s my news!

"i cant tell if its boring or if I just wanna die"
10/10 quote chefs kiss i will be saying this about everything

I would love to see a testing vanilla ice cream video! I feel like grocery store vanilla ice creams very a lot in quality and I’d like to see how price/ingredient list affects it

[treecat]

I love that he actually gives credit where it's due. Some food channels do these ratings as if the food is from a gourmet restaurant, which is hardly accessible to most of us.

[sanabady]

as a TJ's employee, I'll be using this ranking any time I'm asked a question about the frozen pastas

[Kerry__jo]

You should take your lowest-ranking pasta and make your own version of it for a video like a redemption story.

These would taste a lot better if Trader Joe's wasn't currently trying to get the Supreme Court to eliminate the labor board.

Please review more Trader Joe's products!! This was great! I appreciate that you review them as a "normal person" would, not just slamming everything for not being 5 star chef level.

The tomato sauce gnocchi literally guided me through my college life. I used to eat it at least 3 times a week I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH- and then I become obsessed with the stuffed gnocchi with their tomato feta soup as a sauce AHH

[colechapman]

It's seriously impressive that nearly every frozen pasta that Trader Joe's made was well-liked. Normally it is hit or miss at grocery stores, but to have across-board, all meals receive pretty positive responses, is amazing

I work at Trader Joe’s. I never eat our frozen pasta. But I do enjoy the Indian frozen food. Maybe try that for an episode. 😎👍

[anivarum]

what i love about this is that he is not rating or comparing them to like 5 star restaurant dishes but rates them as what they are

15:55 - Sorrento is the name of the city also in Italian, is the adjective form of the proper noun Sorrento, indicating something/someone originating from Sorrento. “Sorrentini” are the inhabitants of Sorrento. Gnocchi alla Sorrentina = Sorrento (style) Gnocchi. Another example of this is “Pecorino Romano” = Pecorino from Rome.

Y'know, I really love your channel simply bc you guys dedicate to putting subtitles. Thank you always

The Gorgonzola Gnocchi is my #1. I add cayenne pepper for some heat.

[sophieadams]

missing my all time favorite pasta- the butternut squash mac and cheese that's available during the fall. it's perfect in my book!

[swit]

It's crazy how all of their gnocchi products can have such drastically different textures.

[tobias]

keith would be proud of what you're putting your body through

[Zarathinius]

Very appreciative that you actually use the 1-10 scale instead of inflating scores to be 5-10.

I loved modifying their bags of gnocchi and fiocchetti by adding alliums, hot peppers, and/or some veggies to flesh them out so I could get a couple meals out of them. Them and their frozen Indian dishes were ever-present.

Gonna have to try those top 3.
