Though Bed, Bath and Beyond, and for that matter, at the time, Linens and Things (until they went belly up!) always have a tendency to jack up their prices (especially on method products.) But that&amp;#39;s just a crazy price. I guess the &amp;quot;Pro&amp;quot; is supposed to result in a higher price point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca, while I don&amp;#39;t necessarily think the products are useless (I lust the stainless steel cleaner, and their multi-surface cleaners are of course great as we know; I&amp;#39;m sure the granite cleaner works well; I just don&amp;#39;t have any granite, hence no need for the cleaner) I DO get the point you&amp;#39;re making about just repackaging the product. Obviously if method is putting out the best product they can, then their everyday brand should be PRO enough. Know what I mean? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a feeling Pro Chef was created moreso as just an exclusivity brand of method that Bed, Bath and Beyond could carry. I&amp;#39;m noticing exclusive products from brands are becoming a big thing (even Seventh Generation has certain scents &amp;quot;only available at Target&amp;quot;, etc.) and method is continuing this with their ginger yuzu at Whole Foods, and now the Pro line at BB&amp;amp;B. At that price point, though, this stuff might be dead in the water. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I do also agree with the idea that while method seems to be making surprisingly odd product decisions lately, such as this Pro Chef line; they continue to ignore (what I feel are, at least) products advocates have been asking for quite a while now; carpet cleaner, an updated auto line, additional personal care products, etc. So sometimes I sorta wonder how well method is listening to their fans as of late? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just something I&amp;#39;ve noticed... thoughts?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217008236703739106/6803891386642637862/comments/default/8878074166003810674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217008236703739106/6803891386642637862/comments/default/8878074166003810674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.methodlust.com/2009/09/now-you-can-be-pro-chef.html?showComment=1253736328688#c8878074166003810674' title=''/><author><name>Nathan Aaron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05436182125301809434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06807798685789278976'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.methodlust.com/2009/09/now-you-can-be-pro-chef.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217008236703739106.post-6803891386642637862' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217008236703739106/posts/default/6803891386642637862' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217008236703739106.post-6057970316188944751</id><published>2009-09-23T15:36:30.832-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T15:36:30.832-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Well there's reason #1 right there. $8.99?!?
