Hi, HearstMade has drafted me into the legions of Veranda loyalists, not because I’m so dope at gardening (I’m not! But I’m great at compost), but rather, because my grilling expertise, combined with an unimpeachable sense of design, make me the perfect candidate to lie about my qualifications for writing How to Design an Outdoor Kitchen That Goes Beyond the Grill. So I deferred to my betters in researching this piece on how to configure your cooking setup and more. It’s less feng shui, more “Every second counts,” but you do want uninterrupted supply lines and clear, short paths to each activity and its accoutrements. Enjoy!
