It began w/ such promise. Sushi 101 taught by uber chef Stan Frankenthaler, Le Creuset, OXO kitch gear, wine and cheese came next. Seems this Nashua gourmet emporium was just what we malled-out Nomasonh’s needed. But then ... they moved to ... Hudson. Hardly the bastion of cool shops, this was a cry for help/ As noted on this blog in Dec., the cramped space was a harbinger of bad things to come for the Impressive Chef. Now this: "Due to the very challenging economic conditions, NH Kitchen Shoppe will be closing on March 30th," the press release reads. But things are worse than that. I just dropped a dime on the shop and a woman who answered the phone said they will be shuttered in two weeks. Bad news, but silver lining: 20 percent off all goods. We're talking stonewall kitch. kitsch, scharfen berger chocolates, spices, you know the rub. If you can get to hudson, Route 3A, it would be worth the trip. Classes scheduled in march (I happen to be in for knife sharpening ) are still on! Is anyone else saddened by this? Economic drops are eating the gourmet gems in our midst.

Sad, but true. Remember Apple Country Gourmet in Littleton? That had a lot of promise, too, and a very nice owner. It closed over a year ago. But there is another place - Kitchen Closet or Kitchen Corner or something like that - in Acton that seems to be thriving. Bought gourmet brother in law some great salts there for Christmas. It's in the little mall at the corner of 2A and 27. Check it out.

I received a gift card for this place for Christmas. Any idea how I can contact the owner for a refund? Any help would be greatly appreciated, since there is a substantial dollar value on the card. Thanks.
I spoke to the owner and she said that they have been advised to have customers send their name, address and gilf card value to info@impressivechef.com. Your claim will be added to the bankruptcy proceedings; refund to be determined by the courts. Hope this helps anyone else stuck in my situation.
