Table etiquette is tough no matter how old you are — discerning between the salad fork and the soup spoon still befuddles the best of us! And Kyle Richards has thrown a new accoutrement into the mix. Enter: The knife rest.
During a hilarious dinner with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mama's husband, Mauricio Umansky, and her bestie Faye Resnick, Kyle pondered the purpose of a crystal table accessory in the shape of a tiny barbell. Was it beautiful? Yes. What was its purpose? We have no idea — and Kyle wasn’t so sure, either!
“I always wondered what that was for,” Kyle said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories. “I thought those were little mini weights! Honey, do you know what they are for?” she asked Mauricio. His reply? “They're for my biceps!”
Ultimately she and Faye came to the conclusion that the tiny barbells are decidedly #kniferesters. Thanks for the tutorial, Kyle!
