My ideal afternoon is spent dropping off my knives for sharpening at WC&KS ($5 each, usually while you wait) and drooling over the respective inventories of this store and neighboring Penzey's Spices, Vom Fass, Lee's Oriental, and The Conscious Carnivore. I could probably have a significant amount of my paycheck automatically deposited at WC&KS--they have so much stuff that I never knew I needed! HIGHLY DANGEROUS. The staff are friendly, helpful--even educational: during my last visit, I was treated to a demonstration on using a sharpening steel and how a three-stage sharpener can systematically destroy a knife. The store has all sorts of practical kitchen supplies and gadgets. I could spend hours here.
