Searching for gelatin sheets

Does anyone know of a source (preferably in the city -- closer to Lincoln Square the better) for gelatin sheets? Thanks in advance for the help.

BR - You can get gelatin sheets from Chicago Game, but you have to buy a large box (400).

Thanks . . . I know of Chicago Game . . . my former source for foie gras. You don't know how long they keep for, do you?

If the sheets are kept dry they should last indefinitely.

im curious, BR. why do you need gelatiin sheets, rather than powder?

To date, I have only used powder, but I understand that the sheets are purer and do not import any "off" flavors, whereas the powder does. So I figured it's time to give it a try.

you can order sheet gelatin from king arthur's flour. they have 20 sheets/pack for $6.95. you need 5 sheets to gel 2 cups of liquid.

Thank you . . . I also understand Fox & Obel might have them too in less than commercial volumes. That might be my first stop.

Someone once told me that Treasure Island on Broadway has the sheets.

Well, Treasure Island does not sell them and Fox & Obel is out at the moment but will be getting them back in.

Bump

Anyone seen gelatin sheets locally lately?

Not sure about locally, but I just ordered 40 silver grade sheets from Amazon...around 10 bucks IIRC

I think I recall seeing them recently at Mariano's - call first.
