Restaurant kitchen supplies that are also really useful in a home kitchen?
While there isn't one specific brand that is common to the cooking tools and supplies you might normally see in a restaurant kitchen, the items will undoubtedly be certified by NSF International (NSF stands for 'National Sanitation Foundation' - NOT 'National Science Foundation' here).  It is probably a good idea to get in the habit of looking for that certification when you shop:  sometimes the letters are stamped into metal supplies or the logo will be clearly printed on the packaging of other tools and equipment.
