Gadgets: Fine Edge Pro Knives by J.A. Henckels

I have both knives. I was given the more expensive chef's knife as a christmas gift many years ago. I purchased the less expensive knife to use at my boyfriend's house years ago when he was living with a bunch of guys and I didn't want them to ruin my good knife. Really the only difference like you said is the weight. When I am doing a little bit of work I tend to use the lighter knife but when I am doing bigger chopping jobs or filleting I tend to use the heavier knife just because it is easier for me to sharpen and the heavier knife add more stability for me. Both are excellent choices. I have a bunch of friends getting married and suggested to all of them to get the lighter knife because of the price and quality.

Totonno's: REOPENED!

Was there tonight too, it was as good as ever. Surprised that there was no line, did have to wait some time to. Frank did mention you were there Adam. He seemed truly surprised at how quickly the word spread and how many of us were there because of you. I am very happy they are back!

Le Creuset: Is it worth it?

I received the 6.5 qt Tramontina dutch oven for christmas last year. It was on my wish list based on Cook's Illustrated recomendation. I love it. I use it at least once a week and sometimes more and it holds true. I don't know if I would spend the money on the LC when this one is under $50 and I assume works just as well.

'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 4: Accents Are Good for TV

It really bothered me that Ariane won. That dish was not original at all. Ive made it and I have seen it over and over again in magazines and cookbooks. I understand why they choose her look at the group of judges but come on.

Samurai Sam's

I wish I could have warned you before ordering that. I work at the court has and one of my coworkers ordered it once before and said she would never order it again. Unfortuently we have a serious lack of food options over here.
