Iam no mountaineer. When it comes to slate-gray, imposing entities, I'm more likely to be staring at a skyscraper than a summit. But by virtue of living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan—oh, and commuting via the subway—I find myself outside in unpleasant weather with some regularity. And I do escape my urban environs from time to time, shuffling off for a weekend to somewhere that's free of car horns and light pollution. All of which is to say: While I'm not the guy to test something from outdoor outfitter Arc'Teryx under the most extreme conditions, I'm pretty well suited to putting a Gore-Tex shell through its paces in a real-life trial that—let's be honest—is likely more applicable to most of our lives than hunkering down in a windswept tent strapped to some perilous peak.

So, you're all caught up on The Bear and are inspired to get chefing. Not like Italian Beef chefing, we mean you want to do some real-deal Jacques Pepin type stuff. You want to break down ducks and chop up mirepoix and say shit like "needs more acid, chef." Well, some kitchen gadgets and top-notch cookware will help with that, but what you really can't do without are great knives.
