Shopping destination for chefs and foodies

Looking for a sweet new chef coat? Or maybe another pair of kitchen clogs? Have a knife that needs an expert sharpening job?

Hit up the Chef Shop in Scottsdale, which has teamed up with Phoenix Knife House to create a one-stop culinary superstore. It opens tomorrow, March 11.

Both businesses have made a name for themselves with local chefs. Not surprisingly, they're also both run by former chefs -- Cory Newman (Four Seasons) at the Chef Shop, and Eytan Zias (Kai, Fiamma) at Phoenix Knife House. The two decided to combine their efforts when Zias found out that his store's original location on Indian School would be demolished to make way for a new development. He will continue to operate Phoenix Knife House within the bigger, better confines of the Chef Shop.

The Chef Shop and Phoenix Knife House are located at 7607 E. McDowell in Scottsdale. Starting tomorrow, store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Call 480-946-2758 for more information.
