Along with the awesome patios and outdoor dining and lounging areas we are creating;  we are getting more and more requests for an outdoor kitchen. These areas often include large built-in barbeques, fridges, sinks, ice-makers (for frozen margaritas for the adults and slushies for the kids), as well as counter space for food preparation. Bar seating at the counter is also often included, to help accomodate a large number of people. These areas make it easier to entertain family and friends, and ensure that everyone can be part of the group while food preparation and cooking is going on.  So much better than being stuck in the kitchen in the house while the fun is ongoing outside!
