Sorry guys. I worked in a meat processing place and made hot dogs. It's hard to eat them after that.

I used to be all about ballpark Frank's but within the last year I think they changed a recipe because they give me massive diarrhea every time I eat them.
Have to find a new brand. Beef only, none of that pork and chicken lip shit

Vienna Beef hotdogs for the win. Grew up in Chicago and moved when I was 15. I miss good hotdogs.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good knife set? I own a 10 inch Shun chef knife but need to expand the selection. Shun knife kits are like anywhere from 800-2400. I have heard some complaints about the edge getting too easily deformed for the price point. Don't mind dropping up to 500 for a good set.

What makes you think you need a knife set? Maybe get a 12 inch knife for bigger jobs or a Chinese style cleaver? And maybe a good paring knife for smaller jobs? After buying my first real chef's knife a few years back I can't ever see the need for one of those full knife sets. I can do everything I need with that one knife, though I will say certain things might be a bit easier with a paring knife.
Shit just watch some videos of chef's doing some really delicate things with a full on Chinese cleaver.

I'm agreeing with Khane way too much today, but yeah I don't know why you would need a set of knives. If you have a chef's knife and a paring knife, that's pretty much all you need.

I got a set awhile back and really only use the two bigger knives. Wife somehow even broke the tip off my paring knife.

yea look at my boy yan
The types of knives you need have i believe should fit with your purpose
like i have a 10 gyuto(japanese chef knife) and a 10 santoku on my bar. The gyuto is my main knife for everything, the santoku only gets used for cheese blocks (the scallops makes it easy to separate), i have a 5in santoku/deba that i use for deboning and i have pairing knife just around.

I still can't believe no hipster has opened up a gourmet corn dog food truck. Someone needs to do this. Different kinds of dogs/sausages with variations of batter. Like a hot link dipped in a mango habanero batter. Complete with a full dipping sauce bar. It would become one of my favorite restaurants.

I have three knives that I use on the regular. 10 inch chef knife from Henckels, which is about 20 years old, has a wood grip, and is awesome. A Wusthof serrated knife for bread and such. And a cheap ass paring knife which I replace about every 7 or 8 months because I haven't found a good one in which I want to invest. I'm interested in recommendations for paring knives.

i don't know if i can recommend it, not cuz it's bad, but cuz of the upkeep, it's a high carbon knife so one drop of water and it'll rust like crazy
old hickory carbon paring knife
heck it even has a nice wood handle you like so much.
