by RazRez ContributorI can’t remember the last time a refrigerator got my attention, but, at a recent get-together, I was awestruck by the hosts’ outdoor space. In particular, I was marveling at their outdoor kitchen. And, if you must know, not all outdoor kitchens are made alike. This one had everything, including the kitchen sink, plus, fully functioning, stainless steel, glass door outdoor refrigerators. Yep, not one but two of those beauties.
So what’s the big deal, you may ask? Well, a kitchen really can’t function stand-alone without some refrigeration unit in there, and what’s more, a party supported by an outdoor kitchen will soon expose said kitchen’s deficiency if cold items, and in particular, cold drinks are nowhere to be found. Yes, one could scoot into the indoor kitchen to grab a beverage, but then the outdoor kitchen wouldn’t be the stand-alone ironman of the party that it should be, right?
You can forget about those cheesy coolers full of ice and your drinks of choice. That’s so tailgating, so very frat party. No sir, we’re talking upscale domestic here, and no ghetto styrofoam or plastic coolers here.
If you really want to impress, and if you go through the trouble of setting up your own outdoor space for a kitchen, then do it right. There are numerous manufacturers of outdoor refrigerators, and Kalamazoo is one such manufacturer.
