NOTICE: The Edward Don Outlet is now closed
Shopping for kitchen tools, cookware, and other cooking supplies doesn't need to be a terribly expensive "Williams-Sonoma" experience in Chicago. Most home cooks know that restaurant supply stores are where to go for deals. The Edward Don Outlet on Elston is a restaurant supply outlet, open to the public and full of deals.Don has Gadgets, cookware, knives, baking materials, appliances and more at outlet prices. (I sound like a commercial). They have frequent sales that I usually see advertised in the Lerner newspaper.
The best deal I ever found here was my 8" Wusthof Grand Prix chef's knife at marked down to $65 (usually around $95 in most stores). They sell a lot of the stuff that was being supplied to restaurants: very durable tools at cheap prices. It's a big place with tons of deals, so be prepared to hunt around a little bit.
Anytime I need something for the kitchen, I check Don first before I spend full price.
Check out the Edward Don Outlet store at 2525 N. Elston, 773-489-7739. Small parking lot. Credit cards accepted.
