Has anyone had these buns from commisso bakery on kincort drive in toronto ? I absolutely love them and want the recipe. The right texture, fluffy-ness! And how do they get those grooves on the top of the bun ? see (attached photo)

if anyone has this recipe, or knows how to make this, can you pass it along.

wusthof 10" classic sharpness vs MAC 10"

Hi,
I have both these knives and always sharpen by hand using my whetstone.

My Wusthof 10" classic is never even close to the sharpness of the MAC.

Why is that ?

I prefer the feel, the glide, and the smoothness of my Wusthof but wish it was sharp like the MAC ?

Any ideas ? Is it just the metal difference ?

Thanks for any advice.

where to buy small chicken breasts similar to KFC ones ?

I'm frying my own chicken this weekend and wanted to know where I could find smaller chicken pieces (breasts and wings with bone in and skin in) similar to the size used at KFC. Any butcher in T.O. ?

I ask because the normal supermarkets (longo's, metro, loblaw) appear to only carry larger sized breasts bone in skin in.

thx
