Cookaholics Bulletin Board

Went to order and found their notice that as of January 31, 2016 they are done

...and it was impossible to order anything during their fire sale right after Christmas...too bad all around

I was so sorry to learn about this when they announced it. I always really liked Chefs because of their free return shipping with no time limit. I had just gotten a wok In November and had ordered and returned two before deciding on the Scanpan one I kept. Plus their Chefs-branded products were usually really high quality. Apparently the same thing happened to cooking.com after Target bought them. What I read about it said that Target does that to get a company's recipes and customer demographics, etc. and then they shut them down and sell the remaining inventory to Home Goods or wherever. Whoever started Chefs and sold it to Target a few years ago obviously isn't hurting, but it's a shame for the few hundred employees in Colorado who are all out of work now.

A lot of companies are really struggling to find a way to compete with Amazon. I think some of this is them throwing some things against the wall and seeing what sticks.

I would feel better about this if either Amazon or Target had a decent selection of cookware. They don't.

That's sad. I liked them and Cooking.com too!

I'm kinda sad that I can't shop for cookware anymore; my kitchen is full!

And the CHAMPION is

I tried to go onto Chefs as well. Bummer

I don't know if it was the same place (probably not), but I remember back in '76 my sister gave me a huge Chef's Catalog, about 1 1/4 " thick, and that's what got me collecting kitchenware. That sounds lkke a really big catalog, but imagine how large a paper catalog would be with all the stuff out there now!
