oldie but a goodie

this is not a brand new product by any means (it came out in 2004), but sometimes i like to go back to modern classics and celebrate them all over again. alessi's todo grater has such a stunningly sleek, elegant form that it's hardly the sort of cooking utensil you'd hide in a drawer or cabinet. more like a sculpture than a device for shredding things, this beauty is available at fitzsu for $64. enjoy!
