From the Kitchen of Chef Elijah Scott
Chef Elijah Scott has always believed that the right tools make all the difference. As the co-owner and creative force behind Asheville’s beloved Med Diner, he’s spent his career perfecting classic dishes with a modern twist. Now, he’s bringing that same passion and expertise to Fifth Quarter Kitchenware, a collection of curated kitchenware born from a love of great food and exceptional tools.


Quinto Quarto
The “fifth quarter” (quinto quarto) is a Roman culinary tradition that embodies ingenuity, transforming overlooked ingredients into masterpieces. For Chef Scott, this philosophy mirrors his journey: rising from humble beginnings to becoming one of Asheville’s most trusted voices in chef's tools. Every product in our store reflects that commitment to quality, innovation, and craft.
