Food Gold Tool Time Special #1: Mandoline

Posted on Feb 9th, 2012

Seeing that a lot of DJs/producers/gear heads read this site the FG gang and I decided to start up a monthly gadget edition of Food Gold for those of you (and we hope there are many) who want to know about kitchen tools of the trade.
