Trader Joes - Now Available For Culinary Students in New York
If you are at culinary school in New York, you will be used to the great choice of stores for buying fresh food. Trader Joes is set to join that number, promising quirky, interesting food for the consumer and chef. Healthy eating and cooking is a strong part of their ethos and taste-testing is just one of the culinary careers on offer there.
Why Would Trader Joes Be of Interest to Culinary Schools in New York?
Even students of culinary school don't always feel like cooking. But in this culture of fast-food and obesity, there is an increasing number of stores that offer a different route to a quick, nutritious meal. New York, more than most US cities, offers a range of stores where you can source healthy, interesting and international food. Culinary schools should see first hand where Trader Joes places itself in New York's vibrant market.
Employment at Trader Joes: A Different Kind of Culinary Career
Trader Joes is famous for its interesting and diverse products. The culinary secrets behind brand products, developed using taste-testing, are guarded fiercely. Lori Latta's career as a buyer and taster for the company has spanned 20 years. Like most of her colleagues, her culinary career has combined the skills of chef, nutritionist and even food scientist.
In a sense, those with a culinary career in a store like Trader Joes are always on duty. If they taste something that they think is perfect for their discerning customers, they will work with chefs to mimic the product for mass-production. They are driven by customer needs and a desire for healthy living, so additives are at a minimum. For culinary students in New York, visiting the store will be an education in itself. It may also set you thinking about a whole new culinary career - the kind that may well spell the future of food retail and catering.
