Has anyone else shopped at this quaint little place in Paris, or have any idea of the quality of their stock? While there on vacation last week this was one of our planned stops and I felt like a kid in a candy store. My enthusiasm was tempered somewhat by uncertainty as to the source of some of their items. If you're ever in the area, it is worth the trip by their shop just to experience the old-time hardware store approach to cookware - I loved it! Managed to get away with only the following items:
30 cm chefs knife (carbon - interested to see how this holds up)
Granton slicer
zester (why do these never last....)
2 ladles
Medium cleaver
2 liter copper/tin-wash saucepan (again, an experiment)
6 liter copper/stainless saucepan (too much $$ for an experiment)
The big pan is my favorite piece ever, except for it being too heavy for my wife to lift. Should have seen the Air France baggage inspector when he went through our luggage!!!
"Sir, do you have any sharp objects?"
"You have no idea!! Here. let me show you...."
Any thoughts on this store welcomed!
