As Laurie put it, “You’ll have to admit that you saw the vampire movie, but…”
We saw the vampire movie. There was more brooding than in the average henhouse. It featured the surf nazi who killed Marissa Cooper, the guy whose main claim to fame on the OC was that everyone pronounced his name differently. This guy is going to have a long career as a guy with angry eyebrows who wants to kill you.
Anyway, I’m getting to the culinary point (spoiler alert) which is: when the vampire clan is attempting to make dinner for Bella based on Nick Stellino’s show, I believe Carlisle Cullen is using a Kramer knife. Bob Kramer is a cult knifemaker based in Olympia, Washington. If you want a Kramer, you can buy a factory version for $340. If you want a handmade knife actually made by Kramer, tough.
There’s a good profile of Kramer in the current New Yorker (the food issue), but it’s not online.
Anyone know whether I’m right about the product placement?
Why are you embarrassed? I heard “Let the Right One In” is excellent….!
No idea about the knife, but isn’t The Other Vampire Movie filmed in Washington state? Maybe that’s a clue to your mystery?
I thought about that, too, chris. Actually, come to think of it, I could just drop Kramer an email.
I think you are right about the knife! I saw the movie after reading this post, so I was checking for it.
I asked Bob and he doesn’t know. I wonder how else I could track down this important information.
What about looking through this ridiculously extensive list for an Assistant Producer for Kitchen Equipment?

Seriously, maybe if you emailed some set assistant who is way down on the list, they would be pleased enough for the attention that they would find out for you.
There are a couple of people credited with props. I’m not sure who they work for (the studio? the production company? the vampire syndicate?) or how to get in touch with them, though. I guess I could sign up for a free trial of IMDB Pro. Of course, if someone wanted to find out for me in exchange for a free copy of my book…
