If loving food makes one a foodie, than I guess most of us would qualify. While I could list a million things I want for my kitchen, I decided to hit up the Christmas lists of those really in the know. I asked some of the hottest chefs, wine-os and foodies around what they hope to find under their trees. Here is what they had to say:
“The Penguin H20 Carbonator. You can carbonate anything! Make your own sparkling wine, sparkling juices or anything without copious amounts of sugar.”-Blair Warsham, Executive Chef and Creator, Graffeats Guerrilla Dining
“All I want for Christmas is the Vita Prep Blender, the best blender on the market. Worth every cent. Forget smoothies, go ahead and see if you can blend a shoe into something that resembles mashed potatoes.” -Greg Frye, Chef De Cuisine at the Bernardus Lodge, Carmel Valley
“My instruments could use some polish, so I’m treating myself to a new set of Forschner Knives.” -Michael Panza of Biagio Artisan Meats, Oakland, CA
“I only want the Excalibur Dehydrator.”This versatile machine preserves fruits and vegetables, dries fish and meat and eliminates preservatives and additives. -Clint Davies, Sous Chef, One Market, San Francisco, CA
“Among the thousands of things on my wish list for my new project, at the top of my list is a Fagor combination rice/pressure and slow cooker and a ginger peeling spoon by OXO.”-Matt Cordes, Chef, Washington D.C.
“The go anywhere wine glass by govino. These flexible, plastic wine tumblers are perfect for safe wine drinking at tailgates, picnics and BBQs with a cool little thumb notch for easy gripping.”-Palmer Emmitt, wine sommelier, Los Angeles
“Without a doubt, I’m spoiling myself with a new piece of equipment that is going to make pork rib consumption sky rocket…the Big Green Egg Smoker Grill.” -Steven Herman, Executive Chef of Haven Restaurant, Atlanta, GA
