“…for for those kitchen gadget addicts who actually bought a Slap Chop…”
Well unlike these items, at least a Slap Chop is somewhat useful… what use is a crumbless bread board? seriously, does this writer actually cook, or even slice bread??
Beer stein for wine?
Cheezy bar set?
A puzzle?
These are not even kitchen gadgets…
-D for effort and effectiveness.
THIS IS what every foodie/chef needs:

Weak! Lame! Unimaginative, uninspired and terribly disappointing. There’s not a single thing here I would even consider for the foodies I need gifts for, nor anything that interests me selfishly, even a little bit.
Don’t phone it in like this, Toronto Life. Pieces like this reflect badly on you as a whole.
