Pinky Martin

[Erik Eitel]

Has anyone ever heard of Pinky Martin?

He was a neighbor of mine at least 25 years ago in Mobile, AL. He's a wood worker and makes beautiful pepper grinders. I'll post a picture when I can. He gave one to my mom, which I have now.

uh....

To say he made beautiful pepper grinders is like saying Jimi Hendrix knew how to play the guitar, or that Richard Raffan and Alan Lancer can use a skew. That guy made things of beauty that inspire people. He is the god of the peppermill. I know a guy who has quite a few Pinky Martin originals.

I think that the one used by Sara Moulton on Food TV was made by Pinky Martin.
Oh to have his talent.

And I thought $50 was a big price to ask for a 9" mill.

Here's a picture of the pepper mill made by Pinky Martin.
