What's your favorite food?
The interviewer is looking for candidates who are passionate about food and who will share this passion with their customers while sharing their enthusiasm for the products they carry. So, this question aims to determine to what degree you consider yourself a "foodie." When answering this question, go beyond sharing a favorite food of yours, or a favorite meal. Showcase how well you've prepared for your interview by spending time going through the recipes they highlight on their website. Maybe they offer a different take on your favorite food, or your new favorite is waiting there to be discovered. Then answer this question with confidence, while sparking up conversation. Ask your interviewer about their favorite food or Whole Foods Market recipes. The more you connect with them, the more likely you'll be to connect with their customers.
"I would say that my favorite international cuisine is either Thai Food or Latin street food. These are the foods I could eat every day of the week and never get tired of it. How about you?"
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I am a big fan of seasoned and sautÃed Argentinian shrimp over a bed of brown and red rice with a little bit of kale and quinoa in the rice. Some freshly shredded parmesan over the top, and there you have a great meal.
