In one of my Farmers’ Market Pick posts about roasting carrots, I mentioned the local celebrity and peeler salesman, Joe Ades. He passed away on Sunday and the New York Times has a short article on him. You can also view a video of him in action (ignore the obnoxious overlay ads). He was fascinating to watch and that peeler really is great. I’ve used it every other day since buying it last fall and I hope I never lose it.


that guy was fun. i’ll miss him
