We went to a party last year at a lovely home up in Cave Creek. The
weather was clear and the temperature was 100-102°, not really bad for
here. The homeowners had a *complete* outdoor kitchen that was part of the
extensive covered patio. They had all the accoutrements I mentioned above,
as well as a standalone icemaker and a brick wood-fired pizza oven, and
plenty of storage for dishware, etc. There were also various pergolas in
the yard, a beautiful sal****er pool with waterfall, and extensive misting
and fogging systems throughout. I don't think I saw the host or hostess go
in the house for anything food-related even once. I can't imagine it being
much nicer than that.
