Cheap Kitchen Finds


One of my favorite places in Columbia to shop for kitchen supplies was a restaurant supply store, so I was thrilled to find one in Greenville.  While riding down Wade Hampton this afternoon, I spotted Joyce Equipment Company.  You can immediately tell that it’s a restaurant supply store by the stacked pots and pans in their front window. 
  When you're in there, you have to remember the quality of everything.  It may not have a modern design, or come in hot pink or lime green, but its going to last forever.  Everything is made to withstand repeat use, hot temperatures, and the rough dishwashers of restaurants, so its all extremely durable.  Here are the goodies that I picked up today.
2 qt Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl- $2.95

Mini Whisk- $.75


Stainless Steel Bottle Opener- $2.00
 

 
Glass Carafe- $7.95


I bought two of these glass carafes and I'll be using them for sangria this summer.  (Keep an eye out for that recipe) The carafes have a little fleur-de-lis on the front of them which I really like. I didn't get these carafes for dirt cheap, but the glass is thicker than any other ones that I've seen.  Since these will be much more durable, its worth the extra couple of dollars. 
They also have a used restaurant supply section, something I've never seen before in one of these stores.  I didn't find anything I needed today, but they did have some good stuff.  Lots of basic wine, champagne, and beer glasses, a lot of white china, and some other random gadgets as well.

Joyce Eqipment Companay is located at 1839 Wade Hampton Blvd.

  3. I can't believe the price on the 2qt stainless mixing bowl. I love that! I don't know if Charlotte has any restaurant supply stores - I'm sure we do, but none I've ever seen or heard of - so maybe I'll just plan a Greenville trip!
