We parked the car and started walking around and then we found this little piece of heaven called The Chefs Shop.

They are called Barrington Bites and it is a must have when you go to Great Barrington.

I spent over $1,000.00 on pots and pans in the past couple of years to build a collection (that is…read morenot completed). This soup pot cost $250.00. The rim was defective so I brought it back to the store. The owner, an older Indian man told me they no longer carry that line because there was a total recall for that product so he had to send it all back. He also advised me that I should not use my pots and pans because of the recall. So I asked him where does that leave me. He told me that there was nothing he could do for me and I was out of luck. I asked him if he can resend all of my pots and pans back that I purchased from him and maybe he could get my money back too. He told me no. He then became Extremely dismissive towards me and would not continue to speak with with me to try and resolve my issue of being out over $1000. The older Indian man (the owner) walked away from me and dismissed me. I then asked to speak to the manager, and the manager, gave me back to the owner. It wasn't until I became loud and demanded a contact person for the company of my pots and pans. (Swiss Diamond Cookware). The owner gave me an old brochure with the number on it. I contacted customer service told them my problem and they did not hesitate to send me a new pot. Swiss diamond cookware customer service also told me that they have sales going on the year round as well as coupon year round and I could buy directly from their company with free shipment. Customer service also told me that there is not a recall on their products that cooks nook just does not carry their products any longer. I can guarantee you the way I was treated and misled. I will never give that company. Cooks nook another penny of my money.

I'm surprised moving off Broadway is - according to the owners - better for business, but perhaps…read moreBroadway was getting too expensive? In any event, the move worked at least for me. In the 12 years they were on Broadway, I never visited; I have now. It's spacious, and it's got variety, and it's got room for even more once they backfill the inventory they perhaps lessened for the move. I think sharing the parking lot with The Fresh Market is a good thing, because you can now pair good food with good kitchen equipment very conveniently. I liked the selection of items and utensils in the store. I hope they put some focus on unique and specialty items, because otherwise they're competing with larger chains like Kohl's and Bed, Bath & Beyond, who can just inundate the market with inventory and coupons. Support the small businesses!

"You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant Walk…read moreright in it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" (Arlo Guthrie) Alice could easily get anything she wants for her restaurant right here on Progress Lane in Waterbury. Imagine a store as big as a Home Depot that only sells restaurant stuff. It's like a Disneyland full of trays, pots and pans, mixing machines, ice makers, bar equipment, pizza paddles, ovens, fryers, griddles, bar stools, slicers, and pretty much anything you have ever seen in or need for a restaurant. I don't own a restaurant, but I definitely developed a greater appreciation for what it really takes to operate one. Wine glasses, bowls, plates, cutlery, fry baskets, big knives, spatulas, gloves, bowls as big as a witch's cauldron, bathroom signs, dining room chairs and barstools, slotted spoons, whisks, chef clothing, big pans and serving trays, coffee stations, chopping boards, a tortilla press, even French Fry cutting machines. We saw them all. And then there were the huge things like deli showcases and enormous dough mixing machines that reminded me of land locked cement mixers. What a fun time we had wandering the aisles and gawking at everything. I've truly never seen a store like this before. Its open to the public and no membership is needed to gain entry. So what did we buy? We replaced an old plastic one pint measuring cup that was getting impossible to read. The new one ($3.99) is very sturdy and super clear to read. We also bought a nifty 10-cut pie and cake marker ($5.99) that will come in handy on Thanksgiving. We had a blast !!
