The Restaurant Store

Housed in a Costco-like warehouse (they have a map to navigate the 45,000-plus product selection), this 20-year-old restaurant supplier isn’t your mom’s Williams Sonoma. As a lay shopper, you’ll want to skip the heavy-duty equipment and instead stock up on restaurant-worthy pots, pans, dinnerware and tools—most of which are available on the cheap.
