Thursday night we were at Chelsea Market for the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund Benefit. It was 130 of New York's best chefs, lining the halls, all there to honor Anne's work.

Anne Saxelby spent her career making sure the people who grew the food and the people who cooked it knew each other. The foundation she left behind keeps that work going.

Last night was our first time at the ASLF event. It served as a strong reminder of how strong the culinary community is in New York City. We caught up with old friends, made some new ones. It felt great to give a little back.

Our doors at Chelsea Market aren't open yet, but last night reminded us why we are excited to be a part of this.

Thank you to for having us.
A special thank you to our friends from for showing up at our table with delicious chocolate to share with the community!

We have big news to share at JB Prince! For nearly 50 years, we have served the culinary world, helping them find solutions in the kitchen with the finest kitchen tools on earth.
We've done this largely out of the public eye. For the past three decades, our showroom has been upstairs in a building on East 31st Street. It's a place we've heard called the culinary promised land.
This fall, we're bringing that same mission downtown, to share the world's finest kitchen tools from a new location, at the center of New York's food scene. This is a new chapter for JB Prince, for the first time serving the public at street level. We will do this while staying exactly who we have always been: the resource for anyone seeking the best solutions in the kitchen.
CEO Tim Mussig shares what's next for JB Prince. Link in bio to watch the full three-part documentary of our story.

Our tweezers are more than a small tool. They’re part of the JB Prince legacy of working with award-winning chefs to find tools that truly get the job done. In this episode of Tim’s Tools of the Trade, we tell that story.

Years ago, Michel Richard — one of the most celebrated chefs in America — came to us with a request. He had a beautiful open kitchen and rigorous standards for how his team plated food. He needed a tool his team could use confidently while on full display. We recommended the Global plating tongs, which we still sell today.

As fine dining evolved toward tighter plates and more intricate service, chefs told us the tongs were too bulky. So we went to work. After years of research with chefs, the result is the JB Prince line of tweezers, with our name on the body.

Tim walks through three styles from our full range: Straight, Offset, and Curved. What tool should he cover next? Drop it below.

Tim made it to this year's James Beard Awards, and it was everything he hoped.

What stood out most was the diversity among the honorees. There were new voices, new faces, and a real cross-section of who's actually doing the work in kitchens. That's part of what we love about this industry and will always be there to celebrate.

It's hard enough to open a restaurant, but even harder to keep it open for a year. So being nationally recognized for it really is an accomplishment.

Cheers to all the winners and nominees!
Many thanks to Anna Mandelbaumand Sanpellegrino USA for hosting us and congrats to the James Beard Foundationon an incredible evening.

There's a test Tim does before he recommends any whisk. He bends the wires all the way and watches whether they snap back clean. Two seconds. That's it.
What tool do you want him to cover next? Drop it below! We're building the episode list and we are reading these!
Episode 3 of Tim’s Tools of the Trade is up now. If you come into the JB Prince showroom and go straight for the whisk display, Tim's going to smile. He'll know exactly where you came from.

Knives are like eggs. Everybody likes them a little bit different.

Tim's Tools of the Trade is back and this week Tim chops it up with a masterclass on what you need to know before you consider buying a knife. Don't worry about steel grades, edge retention, or vanadium composition until you can answer one simple question: how does it feel in your hand?

If you're in the New York area, stop by our showroom and feel the difference for yourself. We carry a wide range of some of the finest knives from around the world.

What do you look for when buying a knife? Let us know in the comments.

We've been quiet about something for a long time—almost 50 years. It’s how we do what we do.

JB Prince has one of the most extraordinary collections of professional culinary tools in the world. Many of them you can't find anywhere else. Some of them were commissioned directly by us because a chef came with a problem and the tool they needed wasn't yet available

Tim Mussig , our CEO and President has spent half his life traveling the world to help build this collection. He knows the story behind just about every tool we carry. And until now, most of that knowledge stayed inside these walls.

But things are changing with Tim's Tools of the Trade.

In this new series, Tim shares what he knows in a way only he can. Learn about the tools, why they were made, how professionals use them, and what most people might miss. Episode 1 is about how serious cooks build a kitchen kit and why sets are not the answer.

Even if you've been cooking professionally for years, we think you'll learn something.

Watch Episode 1. Follow us to catch every new episode as it drops.
