I've love to see a kitchen store that combined all the really cheap stuff (utensils, bowls, pots, etc.) found in local restaurant supply stores around here with the nicer stuff found at BBB, Williams-Sonoma, etc. (which I usually only window shop at), with cooking demos (Whole Foods has a lot of demos). Pastry stuff would be nice, but around here I think there's only one or two shops that specialize in that (mostly cake stuff). The problems I have with the current stores around here that I mentioned above: Restaurant supply shops: Warehouse feel, only a couple of staff seem to know or care much about food. BBB, WS: Cater to (somewhat affluent and above) amateur cooks. Staff isn't particularly knowledgeable either. WF: Too f'ing expensive!
