With just two knives I don't think I'd bother.   For most home cooks, the benefit of a magnetic holder is that it keeps the edges from banging together in a drawer (as well as having the knives handy). But you can get wooden...

Replayed the tape, BDL, and you're right. If it ain't a Grillworks it's a pretty close clone.

I wonder how you define unusual, in this context. So much of it has to do with the cuisines you're used to cooking, and the herbs you consider common.   For instance, I was really surprised, recently, to discover how few...

just really like the  ingredients in Cumberland sauce.   What's not to like? But, as always, you have to look for a balance of flavors. And this one just works best with stronger tasting birds.   But to make up...
