I love cook stores, and have been to dozens all over the US, Canada, Japan, Peru, and Russia. They all tend to have the same things, generally made in France, Germany, and China, and differ little from one another. That thought held up until I walked into Artichoke. This is the first store to impress me. It is smaller than most, but much better curated. If I could start my kitchen over, I would just get one of everything from here; it would cost less, and my kitchen would have better things. There were very affordable items from Tovolo and very high end items from Staub, as well as everything in between. Service was superb as well, and the cost was only a little bit more expensive than online. Highly recommend this store. Shop local.
