Cook's Warehouse Atlanta

The name explains it all, but Cook's Warehouse is much more than just a store.

While you can buy every kind of spatula imaginable, you can also learn how to become a gourmet cook through classes taught by professional chefs. Cookbooks line the walls next to gadgets that make life easier while you try to grate cheeses or grand coffee beans.

It's a great place to get lost in for an hour or so before you go home to whip up a delicious meal.
