Happy Sun-Filled Skies my friends!
It’s FINALLY time for spring entertaining! I wish I could walk the shops with you personally…but alas…I have captured some of my faves to share with you. I know you all love to shop local…it’s what makes Saratoga such a thriving community! Let’s see what’s out there…shall we?
For starters, let’s rethink the outdoor grill. Who needs a new look from the stainless-steel cabinet? I know I do! We create beautiful kitchens inside…why not at our grill as well! Let it tell a story and awaken the senses all the same! Well, then…Look no further than Earl B. Feiden Appliance to savor the True Caliber 60” Signature Rockwell Grill. Not your father’s grill for sure! With 15 colors to choose from or color matching, paired with sapele hard wood…your patio or deck never looked so well dressed! You can even choose your hardware finish including pewter, gold, copper, brass, chrome or the more traditional stainless steel. How about a disappearing lid!! Yes, your view of the world while cooking just got larger! It’s the first “Social Grill” allowing the cook to partake in all things without being confined behind the hood! To top it off, you even have the option of castors or without! For performance, this culinary, architecturally sophisticated grill has three 20,000 BTU’s of CrossFlame burners in 666 sq in. of cooking surface delivering evenly distributed heat across the entire surface and reducing flare-ups. With a full 60” x 30” “walk around” surface, think of the ways you could entertain and serve guests at your next gathering!
