This is the REI for the Kitchen Enthusiast!!!
I aboso-freaking-lutely love this place. What is there not to love. Whatever you need it's here and whatever you don't need but want...Yep it's here also. Everything from picnic napkins, top shelf cookware to amazing Olive Oil for 9.99.
Every gadget you may need to make your cooking experience a master chef experience. The same way an auto mechanic needs the right tools for the job a home cook needs ( 4 different styles of Whisk ) ;-). Fish spatula, uh how did I ever cook fish before this!!
They are always super friendly and on weekends will usually offer you a free coffee sample while you shop.
