Sur La Table

It’s kinda funny that Sur La Table and Williams-​Sonoma are in the same Mall /​Town Center /​Whatever, because both stores offer very similar lineups and similar prices, though I found a few things I wanted for a bit less at SLT.
The cooking classes are held in a bit larger area than the central «counter» at W-​S, with a dedicated kitchen off the main showroom, but SLT also offers a few more try and sample areas, including their coffee machine bar with nearly every type of brewing you can think of, from the basic french press to a $ 2500 automatic espresso maker with self contained milk foaming engine.
I did not make that name up. Really.
I really enjoyed grabbing a sample cup of coffee, a little biscotti, and then wandering through the store. Even better, when we picked out a tagine that was sitting on the display shelf to purchase, the saleswoman who checked us out actually scanned it into the register, then went to the back to get us a brand new boxed one rather than the display model!

This is by far one of my favorite new places at Easton. No wait, one of my favorite kitchen stores at Easton. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! The hubby and I were out at Easton and stopped into this store. We were quickly greeted by a store employee, but we were free to roam the store. Yeah, talk about alot of neat stuff!!! Its definitely a place that I’d go to if I had a couple of thousands of dollars to spend!!!

I adore this place! They have great sales and very helpful staff. The displays are well presented and sometimes it’s just fun to go in here to look at all of the things you will either never need or still cannot figure out what to do with the item.
I had an English recipe from hubs’ Aunt that called for an ingredient I couldn’t find at local stores. Walked in, told them what I was looking for and they led me right to it.
This is the first Sur La Table I’ve ever been to that had the cooking classes as well. We signed up for one class; unfortunately it had to be cancelled. But exhibiting such classy customer service, they emailed me the recipes to all of the items that were going to be cooked at the cancelled class.
Get your inner — or outer — chef on here!

If it weren’t for B&O and Teavana this would be my favorite store at Easton… if I had to utter a single complaint it would be that I’m too poor to shop there and that it is in a rather obscure place across from McCormick’s.
Quality ingredients, quality products, decent sales, and a top notch sales staff… some day I aim to stock my kitchen with a combination of products from La Table and The Cookware Sorcerer on High… someday. For now I’ll be quite content with my great pan from the Sorcerer (which I could have and should have gotten for $ 12 less at Sur La Table) and wonderful silicon spatula and pasta strainer from Sur La Table.
If you’re into it, they also offer what appears to be a VERY innovative set of cooking classes.
