Shopping for appliances…good service?
I went to BSC on Market St today. It seemed like it’s the place to be and get a look at the popular chef inspired brands (viking, wolf, sub, etc..)
I got a close look at the glass door subzero’s. Nice! The saleswoman didn’t do a great job describing the finish choices, since I still don’t get it. But that’s only the cosmetic stuff…. so who cares!
What I do care about are cooking tools. So I went there today to get some answers on ovens and stove tops; warranties, repairs, heat control, consistency, etc… Things that are important to someone who actually cooks in the kitchen. So when I said I used to be in the food business, I didn’t mean it as, “I’m gonna spend $$$$”, or “look at me, I’m sooo cool”, I meant it as this will not be a show piece kitchen. Features and buttons and racks are important, but seriously what works better every time? I didn’t get one straight answer from her.
And on an aside, once I told he I was in the biz, she replied with, “then you should know what works well!”, which is just crazy! I know how to cook lady and not what oven to buy. Daniel Boulud never asked me what oven I liked before installing it in his kitchen. I was given no choice about the matter and tailored my baking to the oven (and not vice versa).
So there! stupid sales woman:)
