But one thread that just blew me away was the one that was about whether or not you could put your more expensive knives in the dishwasher. WHOA. I mean, WHOA. Pandora's box, I tell you! People got all hotheaded, links were furiously thrown in here, there, everywhere.

By the end of the thread, I still didn't know if it was okay or not to dishwash, LOL!

I forgot to say yesterday, the thing I love the most about CH are the restaurant review threads (by regional area, like southwest, east coast etc) -- I mean, people really care about giving good recommendations and you can get so many ideas about where to eat in your area. I love hearing reviews from true 'foodies'.

That is my favorite part. Sometimes you get a bad rec but for the most part I have found some real gems on the regional boards
