Restaurant supply houses

[pork]

I'm dying to get my hands on real tools again. I can't stand the crap they sell at kitchens etc., et al (they went chapter 11 last weekend!)

Most supply houses don't deal with the general public, but I'm sure there is one or two that does in the northern Virginia area.

So, anyone have one? Help an ex-line-dog out and find me a place that will sell me a few standard 1oz steel ladles, a few cast aluminum skillets, and a stack of half-sheets? PLEEEEEEASEE!!!

Thanks!

Hey Pork,

Check it out: JB Prince Restaurant Supply

Thanks Mark! That was definitely just added to my bookmarks. What I'm really looking for is one that I can drive to and browse around in though. It's so much more fun impulse-buying if you don't have to wait. :P

Pork,

Look in the Washington Post classifieds under restaurant equipment. There is a company here that buys fixtures from bankrupt restaurants. I forget their name. I think they are in Springfield. Adams Burch used to have a retail store. Also, check out Silver Spoon in College Park, MD. They have a store there.

I will check all of that out, thanks again!

Next day Gourmet over off Edsal Road I think has cash and carry. All manner of cooks tools
