Calhoun Square in Uptown is a great shopping plaza that has a variety of restaurants, shops, and services. Some highlights include: Chiang Mai Thai, Jimmy John’s, Dogwood Coffee, H&M, and my gym – LA Fitness. One of Calhoun Square’s greatest attractions is Kitchen Window.

Inside Kitchen Window is a seemingly never ending expanse of kitchen gadgets, tools, accessories, and knick-knacks. With everything from the practical to the completely unnecessary, this is a great place to look if you want to build up – or jazz up – your kitchen. I’ve only purchased a few things here (price usually leads me to get the budget version of items at Ikea), but if you are a real adult someone with more money to spend on kitchen gear, then I doubt you could find a better stocked store than this.

A peek inside…There are cute aprons, towels, and place mats:

A wide range of appliances:

Oils and spices:

Specialty baking goods:

The biggest pepper grinder you could ever need:

And even a small cookbook section:

Lastly, one of Kitchen Window’s greatest prides….
THE BIG GREEN EGG:

The Big Green Egg is a special grill that’s supposed to replicate cooking meat in clay ovens and provides the user with “the ultimate cooking experience.” Kitchen Window sells a lot of Big Green Eggs and hosts several demonstrations and workshops of how to maximize their benefits.

This weekend, I was lucky enough to go by the store while they were having a big sale:

All of the sale items were 50% off or more. I was tempted by many items, but I settled on a small ice cream maker and an egg poacher:

The ice cream maker was a little bit of an impulse buy, so I’ll just have to commit myself to putting it to good use. 🙂
