Perhaps I've been watching too much Food TV or reading too many cooking magazines of late, but I've been noticing references to the word "providore." Is it only me?
Quick homework uncovers that it means "one who makes provision, a purveyor." Current usage seems to imply that a "providore" is somehow higher end, niche, artisanal, etc. etc. vs. the average corner dairy. This may not necessarily be the case, so don't let yourself be fooled!
