The International Home and Housewares Show kicks off this Sunday in Chicago. I'll be there to scour over 2,000 exhibitors (pshew!) from All-Clad to Umbra and bring the best back here.

Thanks to your suggestions, I've already set up a meeting with the guy behind the Garlic Twist. If there are other kitchen product vendors you'd like me to look for, please post a comment. And if you'll be there too, maybe we can meet up?

I'd like to review a Kitchen related store or two while I'm visiting Chicago. Does anyone have any suggestions of cookware or specialty food stores in Chicago?
