part of Ep 9 takes place in a fancy hotel , by the water , Cadiz , or the like

 

this apparatus in in the dining room .  I noticed the wheel on it , so it might not be just for show

 

human included in the snap for size :

 

 

focus issues , not  mine , att least in this instance

I think it's a manually powered deli slicer.

[rotuts]

@KennethT

 

I was thinking along those lines.

 

its massive , takes up a lot of room , in a dinning room

 

that could b e tables . etc

 

I agree it slices something 

 

but Id bet its not Boar's Head

 

This is really something

 

this isnt a slicer made in china .

Joe Bastianich is a collector of vintage, manual slicers (mostly Berkels).

 

Great for prosciutto, other charcuterie, and some cheeses.

[rotuts]

very impressive .

 

I like this shot :

 

 

no need to move too far from the Tree for a Prosciutto a d Parm.

Many years ago (long before all the Batali controversy) we used to go to Lupa once in a while, primarily for their house made charcuterie and a pasta or two.  They had one of those slicers there... maybe one from Joe Bastianich's collection?

Indeed - I'm pretty sure there was one at Otto as well.  

[rotuts]

they are Tools of great beauty.

 

getting one , for a statue , in your kitchen 

 

I can see that , for sure.

 

Just not a kitchen Ive ever been in .

 

But , think of the other fantastic stuff that kitchen  might have

 

 

not really this one , its a bit tasteless .
