Depending on the type of food. Storing dry non-parishable food in containers in the cabinets should be suffice. As for meats and anything that could spoil it should be stored in the fridge or freezer. Thawing meats on the counter is not a good idea, it could grow microorganisms that could get you sick.

The best place to store food varies depending on the "genre" of the food. If it is canned, then put it in the pantry. If it's fresh fruit/ veggies, store them in the fridge. If it's frozen, then use the freezer.
