Is there a place where I can get restaurant grade utensils for prices more reasonable than going to a department store?

a great place to get restaruant grade utensils is to go where the restraunts go themselves.

One such place is Gordon Food Service. They have all the products to satisfy foodservice operators' baking and cooking needs everythign form spatulas to laldes to spoons.

Another place to go is http://www.centralrestaurant.com. They have everything youo would find in a restaurant kitchen.

Another great place to look is http://www.ebay.com. As I am sure you are well aware of ebay offers everything including restaurant grade cookware.

another great place to look is /http://www.wasserstrom.com. they also offer evrything you need for cooking and are top grade.
