When it comes to kitchen stores, Sur La Table is pretty much as good as you can get. I like the attitudes of the worker much more here than at similar stores like William and Sanoma. Not to mention that they will take out any knifes and test them with various foods, which they have laying out. Also, you feel pleasantly overwhelmed by the large variety of awesome kitchen tools. I love coming here, so if you are a foodie (and since you are on Yelp you are) you will love it here.
