Restaurant supply stores aren't always just for restaurants. They can be a great source for home cooks, too.

Restaurant supply store knives are cheap, reliable, and damn near indestructible. Victorinox and Challenger routinely top “best affordable chef’s knife” lists, but I never hear anyone talk ...

Stick with the name brand here. The graters and zesters available at the restaurant supply store are often low-quality, catching onto whatever you’re trying to zest, or they can cut too much off.
