Kelly English
“John Boos cutting boards were a staple in my parents’ kitchen throughout my childhood. I watched my father prepare many meals on Boos cutting boards. I prepared many of my first dishes with the help of Boos cutting boards as well. I have my own restaurant now, and I’m proud to say that my own John Boos cutting boards are a staple in my kitchen.”
