Benihana-Style "Social Grills" As Popular In North Dakota And Montana As Southern California -- WSJ; Something For Bakken Millionaires To Consider
The WSJ is reporting:
Forget the fire pit. The latest luxury backyards are being outfitted
with everything from movie theaters to dishwashers to bathtubs.
Todd and Cathy Ressler's elaborate
outdoor kitchen at their suburban New Haven, Conn., home has custom
cabinetry, a full bar, a pizza oven and a beer tap. The space also
includes radiant-heat light fixtures, allowing the family to use the
space in cooler months. And to avoid going back and forth between
kitchens, the Resslers purchased a separate set of outdoor flatware and
dinnerware. Mr. Ressler, who cooks most meals in the summer months, says
he built the new kitchen because he's "really into the outdoors, more
than the indoors." The project, which included elevating a deck to the
level of their house, cost roughly $100,000.
The homeowner basically wants you to duplicate what they have indoors,
outdoors," says Larry Smith, the marketing manager of Brown Jordan
Outdoor Kitchens, a Wallingford, Conn.-based company that made the
cabinetry in the Ressler home. Newer options include a round
Benihana-style "social grill" designed for gathering around during
outdoor parties.
"Strange as it may seem, it's as popular in North
Dakota and Montana as it is in Southern California."
