Spend any amount of time in a restaurant kitchen, and you begin to notice something. In the midst of chaos, one detail is always in order -- the chef's knives.
At G. Michael's, David Tetzloff's knives sit orderly on a white linen napkin. Timothy Carter, executive sous chef at Mitchell's Steakhouse Downtown, puts his away in a wooden box in his office.
And Columbus' legendary chef Hartmut Handke (now retired) marks his knives with a thin strip of yellow tape around the handle. "Even if you are working in y our own kitchen," he explains, "you want to know where your knives are."
I recently visited a few kitchens around the city where the knife is king.
