12 PREMIER LIFESTYLES AAfter choosing the appropriate location for your outdoor kitchen, the next step is deciding on a focal point. Brick and woodfired pizza ovens can act as a beautiful centerpiece for your outdoor kitchen. The faade of these ovens can be done in plain white stucco, red brick or even inlaid with beautifully intricate tile. Quality manufacturers like Forno Bravo and Californo can build you an authentic and functional piece that will create pizzas that taste like they are straight out of Napoli. Of course everything in an outdoor kitchen revolves around the grill. Now with the help of big name manufacturers like Viking appliances, you can cook with the same top-of-the-online equipment outdoors as you do inside. Viking outdoor ranges are available in 24" to 60"-wide sizes, and according to the manufacturer, they make the world's only outdoor gas range. Viking grills can be built into a custom stainless steel cabinet system or even transported on a portable stainless steel cart for flexible mobility for all of your outdoor parties. The Ultra-Premium ESeries 53 gas grill comes with side burners and a halogen lamp on the inside of the hood, perfect for late evening feasts. Viking challenges all grill masters to put the 25,000 BTU stainless steel burners to the test on anything from delicate fish to giant rotisserie turkeys. Just make sure to get one in plenty of time for your 4th of July festivities. Outdoor warming drawers are a needed addition for any chef who enjoys cooking for a large group. These drawers are moisture and temperature controlled to keep faster-cooking food fresh and hot while you master slower grilling items. Want to keep things cool until you're ready to serve your guests? Install a mini refrigerator in your outdoor kitchen made specifically to stand up to varying weather conditions. Both Viking and Sub-Zero make under-the-counter refrigerators perfect for all of your outdoor entertaining needs.
