There must be something in our DNA that attracts u There must be something in our DNA that attracts us to places where food is cooking!  Like a moth to a flame, right?  When entertaining, most people end up in the Kitchen, and an Outdoor Kitchen is no exception.  Whenever possible, try to include an area in your backyard cooking. . Preparing and cooking food outside has its benefits.  . First, when people cook outside when the weather is warm, it reduces indoor heat and energy consumption.  This lessens the need to pump the air conditioning in the heat of the summer, and reduces the use of indoor appliances. . Second, there's always less clean up when food is cooked on the grill or pizza oven.  Less clean up means you use less water, energy and other resources. . Third, food takes on a delicious flavor when prepared outside over a grill or a salt block.  The variety in dining experiences brought on by a cookout makes people so happy!  Must be all that sun and fresh air too! . When designing an Outdoor Kitchen space, the counter material is a hot topic in terms of style, durability and cleanliness. We've got the Best Eco-Friendly Outdoor Countertops for every Budget in this week's blog.  Check it out (link in bio) for the ultimate inspo! 📸 @creativetonic
