Sam the Cooking Guy is an everyday guy who has found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of ‘chef-speak,' he is the everyman of television cooking. His cooking show is shot in his house – with his kids, dogs and neighbors occasionally around – just like we all do.  The tools he does use need to be durable and all-purpose, because he uses them for everything, so Epicurean created a no nonsense, all-purpose, 1 inch thick cutting block specifically for Sam:

"I look at a cutting board like I look at a desk - bigger is better.  I do all my work on it and at 18" in diameter the Sam Surface is perfect whether I'm chopping, prepping or putting food on it for a party.  Just leave it on your counter, you'll use it all the time."
