Designed to slice through a heaping burger with ease, the knife boasts a unique blade shape that’s perfect for all burger necessities: a serrated section towards the bolster and straight-edged along the center.

You might be asking, “Can’t I just use two separate knives for the same effect?” Sure you can, but not quite. Slicing a massive burger into smaller portions is next to impossible without making a mess or mangling your bun to shreds. Wüsthof’s innovative creation makes burger slicing clean and easy.

The knives are also manufactured with a high-carbon stainless steel, which both looks great and ensures the knifes longevity in the kitchen.

Available in sets of four, the Wusthof Gourmet Burger Knife is priced at $99.95.

Cafe Au Lait vs. latte: Are these two coffee orders the same?
Comparing these two coffee orders
cafe au lait

As a coffee connoisseur who has traveled to Paris, I'm embarrassed to say I never had a chance to order a "Cafe Au Lait" while visiting French coffee shops. Something about the name sounds fancy and almost intimidating. However, the Cafe Au Lait is one of the more simplistic Barista-style coffees you can order, containing only coffee and milk. Conversely, a latte uses an espresso base and much more milk for a completely different flavor. Not to mention, one drink has a French origin, where the other formed its roots in Italy. No matter where you order your coffee, here's how to differentiate between a Cafe Au Lait vs. latte -- which are not the same coffee order.
Cafe Au Lait vs. latte

As you can see in this short video by Birchin Lane Coffee Company, a Cafe Au Lait and a latte look similar but contain different ingredients. Cafe Au Lait, which translates to "coffee with milk" in French, contains equal portions of brewed coffee and steamed milk. This coffee is made with one part coffee to one part steamed milk, which keeps things simple and does not include any milk froth or foam on top. The coffee used for a Cafe Au Lait is regular coffee, which can be brewed either with a traditional drip coffee maker or a French Press coffee maker. The Cafe Au Lait is mild and creamy -- a drink I feel any coffee drinker can enjoy.

Keeper’s Heart

The Irish Coffee is a beloved favorite drink for many, especially when it's cold outside. The combination of hot coffee, rich cream, and boozy whiskey is comforting, tasty, and has just the right combination of picking you up and soothing you down to make it the perfect winter drink. As today is National Irish Coffee Day, we've got a couple of recipes for you to try out.

Virtually all Irish Coffee recipes will keep the same basic ingredients, and of course it's traditional to use an Irish whiskey for your Irish Coffee. But you can also try out some subtle but effective variations on the classic recipe, such as using demerara syrup or maple syrup for sweetening, which give a depth of molasses flavor, or adding some spices like nutmeg.
