What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorE! News has a holiday gift guide for foodies who have tried everything, and it's seven items long.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe premise is that a foodie with impeccable taste and a fully stocked kitchen is hard to shop for.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe guide leads with an eighty-six-dollar apron.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a Hedley and Bennett apron, and it comes in One Piece and NFL collaborations, with custom embroidery. So who pays for the embroidery?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe giver, presumably. The guide doesn't say.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy take: the apron is the whole holiday. You can't tell me a grown person doesn't want an NFL apron.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI can tell you. Someone who has tried everything has probably tried an apron. It's the first thing they bought.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThere's also a Crowd Cow meat box with wagyu beef and lobster tails, for the carnivore with luxury taste.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd a seven-piece Anolon stainless cookware set for the Bravo-obsessed chef.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe last item, for when all else fails, is a Williams Sonoma gift card. The foodie who has tried everything is now the one shopping.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLove it. Love all of it. Then I'm giving everyone I know a Williams Sonoma gift card and a very confident apron.
