I've recently learned from LTHForum member johnny that the Edward Don Outlet on Elston is closing its doors in a couple weeks. This is a severe blow for budget-minded, serious home cooks on the near-NW side of the city. There were many deals to be had at Don (if you hit them during one of their frequent sales), and it has been my go-to place for inexpensive, less common simple kitchen items like cheese cloth or cardboard cake rounds.
Don's selection, easy parking, and location made it my favorite for years. It will be missed. (Chef's Catalog on Clark has also recently closed).
My backup is now my primary: Northwestern Cutlery has a strong kitchen supply selection.
There are some serious deals to be had at Don for the next couple weeks.
Edward Don Outlet 2525 N. Elston, 773-489-7739
Northwestern Cutlery 810 W. Lake St., 888-248-4449
