Why the Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife is my last chef's knife

I still, remember the moment I cut something for the first time using a really sharp knife. The Wusthof Classic 8-inch chef’s knife was a wedding gift I got almost 15 years ago. I sliced tomato with it while preparing a BLT sandwich and lo and behold: There was no squishing involved and the tomato, though now separated in two, maintained its structural integrity. That’s when I understood why chefs and food writers are always campaigning against dull blades. In the years since, I’ve used a host of different knives while cooking dinners for my family, making cookies for events and testing recipes for two cookbooks I’ve written. And one thing I’ve discovered is that, in a pinch, I could always make do with just one good knife:

Wustohf Classic Chef’s Knife

It’s versatile enough to carve up a pineapple for a summer barbecue and make quick work of a handful of fresh herbs from our garden. It’s the knife I keep reaching for again and again, even as my collection has grown.

New Virtual Restaurant Brands Company Virturant Out to Save the Restaurant Industry

Key Take Away

Virturant, the startup virtual delivery-only restaurant company launched in January 2020 to save the restaurant industry, creates an entirely new revenue stream for eateries with extra capacity looking to earn more money.  By making productive use of underused/unused kitchen staff and operational hours, restaurants can increase revenue and profitability.

It’s easy to manage orders on these platforms with innovative tablet integration software – as all four delivery apps are managed by one tablet and one printer all supplied by Virturant.

The Model

By entering into a licensing agreement, restaurants can go from producing the items on their existing menu, to also offering entirely new items

“In addition to a new customer base, the magic in our model is that peak ordering demand for delivery is different from peak serving time for the typical sit-down, fast-casual restaurant,” said Jon Register, CEO, Virturant.
