Outdoor Kitchens That Work (Not Just Look Good)

By Cali Dream Construction | January 09, 2026 | San Diego

Outdoor kitchens are one of the most valuable lifestyle upgrades—when they’re designed like real kitchens.

Plan for: - Layout: grill + prep + serve zones - Utilities: power, gas, water, drainage (as needed) - Storage: weather-resistant cabinetry and smart placement - Wind and heat: grill placement matters (smoke should not blow into seating) - Lighting: task lighting for cooking + ambient lighting for dining

If you entertain frequently, consider a dedicated beverage zone outdoors to reduce indoor traffic.
