Wüsthof knives have and will always be our favorites. We have been using them for over a decade now. They're that good.Williams Sonoma is having a mega sale on Wüsthof! Chris made a video on knife skills you can watch here!
I can imagine that compiling posts like these -- researching, sourcing, creating the post itself, adding links, etc -- is a lot of work. I appreciate that this is one way that you support your business and provide for your families. However, posting and, more to the point, promoting this kind of content on your social media feeds right now comes across as tone deaf and unsympathetic during a time when so many are suffering and struggling and trying to raise awareness of that suffering and struggling. Documenting the projects you're working on in real time is one thing, but actively promoting items that are luxuries while so many are trying to make their voices heard (and others to amplify those voices) about the serious problems confronting our society feels shallow and self-serving. That the CLJ brand should come across like that is unfortunate, since I'm confident that that's not how you y'all feel personally. I appreciated your call to donate to and support organizations that are fighting for equality and anti-racism in your Instagram Stories, but I hope that y'all will use the large platform you have to do more than mention it in passing.
I'm not angry (though I am disappointed), and I'm not unfollowing, just hoping to offer a little constructive criticism.

Jules would probably opt out of the actual cooking part...but hey, it's great to have time together chatting while I'm cooking, and she's hanging […]

I loved seeing fresh takes on Western wear. It goes to show there's room for fashion in every aesthetic. Recently I saw this funny interview with Brett Goldstein of Ted Lasso fame. He said he recently went to Texas for the first time (he's English if you're unaware), put on a cowboy hat and immediately […]

Dear Julia and Chris (and the CLJ staff),
I can imagine that compiling posts like these -- researching, sourcing, creating the post itself, adding links, etc -- is a lot of work.
