Turn your backyard into the ultimate entertainment zone with a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen.
The summer backyard barbeque, an American tradition, has developed into a year-round pastime that includes everything from the basic, traditional stand-alone grill to gourmet meals prepared in a full-scale outdoor kitchen. According to a new national poll released by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA,) seventy percent of Americans revealed that they prefer cooking out to eating out. “People love to cook outdoors because food tastes better, and it's an enjoyable way to entertain,” says Leslie Wheeler, HPBA Director of Communications. Add to that the popularity—and proliferation—of round-the-clock cooking shows, food magazines, cookbooks, specialty stores, and gourmet markets, and you can understand why even the occasional outdoor chef is looking to up their grilling game.
