7.25 Quart Round French Oven by Le Creuset
Orig. $385.00
Now $269.99

My kids bought me this one a couple years ago for x-mas.  I think it's the best all round pot I've got.  Collard greens, big soups, spaghetti, pork and Kraut - it a good investment.

And $269 doesn't sound cheap, but it's really a pretty good deal.

my wife's in the original pictures is a 5.5qt.  We bought it while living in france for 100 euro.  I think the 2 qt would be too small for all the raw onions.

They had two of these at Marshall's for $150 ea. 

Maybe I should take a trip back and see if there are any left?

Can you substitute the French oven thingy with a regular pot or crock pot and get the same results cause that looks damn good right now.

Other than Kuma's Korner, the one place I really miss from Chicago is Northwestern Cutlery.  They had pretty good deals on just about everything.  Several years back I picked up a 7.5q Le Creuset for $220.  Prices have gone up.

Indeed bad ass would be accurate...his attack of hemorrhoids changed the course of history...maybe had a problem passing all that tar-like cheese that covered his soup
