KUNG PAO COOL

Okay. So we at D Home prefer to tout local boutiques over the big-box boys. But Pottery Barn’s new Asian takeout collection of dinnerware is too cute not to mention. The white stoneware boxes are a clever take on classic Chinese to-go containers, and the metal handles are removable, making them dishwasher friendly. True, they’re trendy and not the type of servingware you can regularly trot out for dinner guests, unless you enjoy a seranade of yawns. Still, they are fun and different. Better yet? No MSG.
