Judy McGuire has a BA in Criminology and doled out dating advice for a dozen years (more overlap there than you might think!). She has written five books and countless articles and columns, including stories on manufactured "meats," strange snacks, and food world "nepo babies." Despite being exposed to foods from all over the world—her neighborhood of Jackson Heights is known for its global array of restaurants—her favorite meal is, and will probably always be, a cheeseburger and fries.
