I love to window shop since my kitchen is small and I truly have to justify when I purchase something bigger than a vintage measuring cup or new cookie sheet. Always trying to keep Alton Brown's rule of there being no 'uni-tasker' in the kitchen, I try to remain restrained. A good rule, but impossible to follow.

So, I tend to do this gazing in stores such as Bed, Bath and Beyond, a local branch of The Restaurant Store and even find myself in Walmart and KMart perusing the shelves for some little gadget I've been wanting to try.

Do you have a favorite shop where you go for that culinary gadget fix or equipment purchase?
