Wed Dec 17 11:10:53 -0800 2003 0 Elle 1 300012 It's not large like a Williams Sonoma or Ser Le Table but the owner has the best of the best. His name it think is Jin. He and his brother run the store. They have a nice selection of cookbooks many of which are hard to find, flatware, Hermes China ( I bought some), Knives, etc. I was once looking for some rare cookbooks and they imported them for me. They also have some food products like olive oil, salts and cavier. They are very knowledgeable and cater to many chefs. You won't find any bargains there but their quality it top notch and you'll find items that are not easily accessable.

Jin, the store's extremely friendly owner, says this stuff is worth the wait though!

Think Design Within Reach for kitchen supplies. Wed Dec 17 11:55:22 -0800 2003 300008 0 Xericx
