So whether you're looking for a chef's knife or a cherry pitter or that whatchamacallit that does that thing, look here first. These shops often have sales, so check around for the best price.

Huge selection of tool, kitchen appliances, cookware and bakeware. What I like about Cutlery and More is their great selection within each category. For example, if you're looking for a whisk, you can find almost 50 different whisks to choose from. If you are a picky shopper like I am, options are good.

J.B. Prince is geared towards restaurants and professional chefs, but they will also sell to individuals. This is a good place to shop for tools and knives. If J.B. Prince doesn't have it, it's probably not available anywhere. I wouldn't recommend buying cookware here. Most of it is professional grade and more expensive than you can find elsewhere. Check out their selection of gift ideas. The creme-brulee set or the pastry set are unique but affordable gifts for your favorite cook.
Grills Direct is a great place to find grills and smokers. They sell all the best brands like Weber, Vermont Castings, KitchenAid, Thermador, and more. Grills Direct also has turkey fryers for cooking that holiday bird.
