East Fork

Elliot's Edit - This spring, Elliot joined the team as Assistant Buyer, and we wanted to catch them in that brief window of fresh eyes and new discoveries.

Get to know Elliot

With a culinary school background and  prior experience as a pastry chef, they came to East Fork with a deep knowledge of food and tools (and they’re already testing some top-secret new pieces!) We asked them to share a few favorite products so far.

Q: If you were building your dream kitchen right now, what items from our assortment would you need? Elliot: I’m going to start with the question “what are the basic things that I need to function properly?”

Les Forges Chef's Knife, White Oak Cutting Board

Elliot: A bench scraper is always a go-to. A good, classic chef's knife is a basic necessity along with a nice cutting board. That’s the trifecta right there.

Q: I hear you have chickens, a garden, and a little mini homestead. Tell me about that! Elliot: We try to live as sustainably as possible. We  have a compost pit, we’ve got 4 chickens. It may be unreasonable for us to think we can get ALL of our  food from our own land but we supplement as much as we can.

Q: Alright, let's talk pottery. Elliot: I love the Espresso Cup. We have an espresso machine at home, and every morning I make myself a coffee. The size is perfect for me, I’ll do a mini cortado.

Q: And I hear Amaro is your favorite color? Elliot: Oh yeah, it’s my ride or die. We’re also getting into Heron lately. I did find some soapstone cake plates at a thrift shop, I feel very blessed to have them :).
