Best online store for kitchen supplies

[Piso Mojado]

Target bought chefscatalog.com in 2013 and they are closing it for New Year, laying off 160 in Colorado Springs: not profitable enough for them. Any recommendations for online kitchen supplies besides Amazon? Cookware, bakeware, kitchen tools, dishes, flatware. etc.?

Try fantes.com in Philadelphia. They are geared toward italian cooking.

I don't know if this is the best, but we shop at surlatable.com.

King Arthur Flour has good stuff but mostly baking.

Online, Cutlery and More has treated me well. Katom is great for some things too though, in general they are geared to the restaurant trade. Katom is great for bakeware and larger pots and pans and, I have scored some harder to find Lodge cast iron at bargain prices there.

Chefscatalog was a hard one for me to understand. Everything I ever shopped for at Chefscatalog was very easily found elsewhere for less.

Thanks for the suggestions, Sid.

Chef's Catalog was good for closeout sales on their no-name flatware, prep bowls, etc. And when they had brick & mortar stores here, they put out every pepper mill loaded with pepper and let you try them: that's how I learned about Peugeot. Their name brand prices were not attractive unless they had a sale.

I scored a good deal on some DeBuyer Mineral pans on closeout. Just before the announcement I also picked up a pair of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Sol Ceraforce Fry Pans for a great price. Their other pans weren't cost competitive with other "brick and mortar" and online options.

I want to go to the King Arthur Flour school someday soon. Their bread baking classes are apparently VERY good in addition to the their flour and other products.

Thanks for the Fantes recommendation. While a little specialized for most people, it looks like a really nice 'boutique" sort of place.
