Butcher Block Co. Looks to Expand Its Supplier Lineup

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2015 -- Online retailer Butcher Block Co., a leading direct-to-consumer distributor of butcher block countertops, kitchen islands, kitchen carts and cutting boards, announced today that it added two new artisanal woodcrafters to its vendor portfolio during this year's second quarter, and it continues to search for makers of differentiated, handcrafted kitchen furniture and accessories who are based in the southwestern U.S.

Company president, Mark Shook, proclaimed that the E-commerce company "now distributes on the Butcher Block Co. website (https://butcherblockco.com) the full line of distinctive Cotton and Dust cutting boards and butcher blocks handcrafted by Matthew Harper in his West Texas design studio; as well as the innovative Scrapesation wooden grill scraper, designed and handmade by Sean Ung, based in Central Arizona."

According to Company Vice President, Kathleen Grodsky, "Cotton and Dust artisan cutting boards and blocks are distinguished by Harper's unusual designs, combinations of woods, and extensive use of tropical tigerwood that's native to South America. Adding to their distinctiveness, Harper delivers his boards fully-wrapped and ready to gift, and will custom-engrave any boards, making it an even more sentimental and memorable gift."

Grodsky described Sean Ung's Scrapesation grill scraper as "100% maple wood and designed to compete head-to-head with steel wire grill brushes, about which the Center for Disease Control has previously issued warnings." Specifically, in 2012, the CDC warned consumers who grill they should "be aware of the risk for ingestion of wire bristles from grill-cleaning brushes."

"This is a great opportunity for talented artisans to get their creations in front of tens of thousands of online shoppers each month," Shook continued. "Visitors to ButcherBlockCo.com tend to be cooking enthusiasts and at-home entertainers who appreciate fine woodworking," he concluded.

According to Grodsky, who oversees Operations and Marketing for Butcher Block Co., "I invite Southwest-based craftsmen of distinctive kitchenware to contact me for private and confidential discussions."

ButcherBlockCountertops.org has entered the restaurant sector with their new range of stainless steel work tables, ideal for establishments serving food.

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2015 -- For the home, wooden counter tops are a wonderful addition to the kitchen, and a wooden butcher block provides a stylish and robust means to protect worktops while hacking into hearty chunks of meat or vegetables. However, in the catering industry wood is genuinely eschewed as it can absorb juices and breed bacteria, making it harder to thoroughly clean. Butcher Block Countertops has specialized in wooden butchers block countertops, but have just released a new range of stainless steel worktops (https://butcherblockco.com/john-boos-commercial) for the catering industry.

The stainless steel worktops are less aesthetically pleasing than their wooden or hybrid wood and steel counterparts, but provide a peerless blank canvas from which to work, which has an impermeable surface that will never hold bacteria and is easy to clean.

To celebrate the introduction of the stainless steel range the company is offering the products at amazing prices, offering savings of up to five hundred dollars on the typical retail value of the items. The offer includes worktops with sliding doors, cupboards and drawers, and worktops with risers to contain mess more effectively. These items are all available to purchase direct from the online store.

A spokesperson for Butcher Block Countertops explained, "We love a hearty butchers block and having a countertop that doubles as a butchers block is a great way of economizing space and always having a place in the home kitchen to chop. However, the catering industry has to overcome a lot of red tape, and stainless steel countertops are the perfect way to do so, as they offer an industry standard level of cleanliness and easy maintenance. Our introductory prices are a great way for restaurants just starting out or those refitting their kitchen spaces to get amazing bargains on these premium products."
