One thing you might not know about me is that I come from a long line of grocery experts. My grandparents opened up a Thai grocery store in the 1970s when they first moved to America, and my mom’s very first and most beloved job was being a checkout clerk at Publix. The love for groceries in my family extends to me, a 26-year-old groceries editor at The Kitchn who is absolutely obsessed with navigating the aisles and spotting trends on the shelves.
