Chef, hell. For fifty bucks, it should come with a BJ.

Funny thing, terminology is. My 'meat fork' is longer and has but two
sharp tines. That's the one that went through my finger. :-/ I guess
i shouldn't have used it as an ice chipper, eh? Sumbitch!

Oh, pishtosh! She was responding to the question in the subject line,
"Does anyone else use a granny fork?" It's clear to me that she's
answering that question; that she has two implies to me that she uses
such a fork. Or two. Whose post she's replying to seems irrelevant in
this case. :-P

It was much less than $50.00

I shop at Star Restaurant Supply in Van Nuys - I am listed as a B&B for
their professional discount.

Whenever I get down to the city I load up on professional (commercial)
equipment.

But you mean West Hollywood. Actually, I used to live two blocks from
what is now WH. The demographic was well on the way to being what it is
now, but it wasn't incorporated at that point, being just another part of
Los Angeles (like Hollywood itself remains).
