The Chopping Block's state of the art custom outdoor kitchen features two high-performance Kalamazoo grills, the the K900HB hybrid grill (http://www.kalamazoogourmet.com/k900hb.php) and the K900GB gas grill (http://www.kalamazoogourmet.com/k900gb.php). Rounding out the outdoor cooking capabilities are an Outdoor Artisan Pizza Oven (http://www.kalamazoogourmet.com/pizza_oven.php) and a wok-ready cooktop. The Energy Star rated outdoor refrigerator and refrigerated drawers keep things cool along with the outdoor beverage center for storing wine and other drinks. A wide array of outdoor kitchen cabinets by Kalamazoo provides ample storage for this teaching kitchen. Their weather-tight design keep everything clean, dry and ready for action. Thoughtful features like the pull-out cutting boards and waste and recycling containers provide convenience for the chefs and students. The outdoor kitchen is loaded with amenities and is a fully-functional space for classes, cooking and entertaining.

"We are excited about our new outdoor kitchen (http://www.kalamazoogourmet.com) from Kalamazoo. The layout provides more space to work for our outdoor cooking classes than we've ever had, and we're looking forward to taking advantage of all the new capabilities," said Shelley Young, founder and CEO of The Chopping Block.
