Tai is an assistant editor for the testings and tastings team, which basically means she gets to play ("test") with equipment and make other people taste all sorts of food. She grew up on the Mexico/USA border with a large extended family. Her grandparents had been farmers, so growing up she had fresh eggs and got to see how just about every meat we eat is slaughtered and butchered—it has given her a real appreciation for where food comes from and what real chicken tastes like. Having a large close knit family also showed that what you eat is as important as who you share it with.
