Ill never forget the first time I stepped into a Costco.

I still feel that same sense of awe and overwhelm every time I walk into a Costco.

However, making purchasing decisions in that wonderstruck state can be tricky.

The sheer number of food options may have you wondering whats really worth the (irresistibly affordable) investment.

Well, who better to ask than those who have made food their lifes work?

I initially questioned whether chefs would even set foot into a bulk superstore, but boy was I wrong.

Many culinary professionals love Costco because the beloved shopping chain delivers high-quality, restaurant-worthy ingredients.

I always stock up on butter and especially love the European-style option, Kerrygold, says Gallagher.

This high-quality butter is made from the milk of grass-fed Irish cows.

Kerrygold butter is the best of the best, Clarke emphasizes.

It makes such a huge difference in flavor and creates a silky quality forpan sauces, Marris explains.

I refuse to bake with any other butter!

As if I needed another reason to love Costco.
