I was contacted by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet to photograph one of their exquisitely designed outdoor kitchens. I was immediately blown away by the quality of their products and the functionality and beauty of their designs. From beginning to end, everyone I worked with on the shoot was extremely helpful and organized. They were always responsive, respectful, and open to collaborating on ideas. The end result was a smooth, successful shoot, which has now been featured in Gentry Magazine. I would highly recommend Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet to anyone wanting superb service and product. I am certainly looking forward to our next opportunity to work together!

I purchased their products
Kalamazoo Gourmet built some very high quality products that look really great and perform good also. They helped me throughout the project with many decisions and even suggested I purchase a smaller grill when I inquired about their larger (more expensive) one. While their products are more expensive, I do believe you get what you pay for and I am very happy with their products. The only criticism I might have is that the grill allows you to use wood/charcoal to cook your food but there isn't a great way to shut off air when the wood/charcoal gets too hot or catches fire. This can make it difficult to keep the heat at a constant temperature or put out the flames. On a positive note though, the grill is very well built and can achieve incredible temperatures which results in some of the best food you have ever eaten from a grill. (Steaks are just awesome)
The cabinetry is superior to anything I have ever seen with outdoor cabinets. You will truly appreciate the details such as the rain guard that keeps your paper towels dry or in the case of my wife's favorite feature...keeps out the spiders.
Overall I recommend them for your outdoor kitchen projects. You cannot find anyone else that can build better quality products anywhere.

The whole Kalamazoo team is great, not to mention their amazing product. We have worked with them on two occasions on roof decks in Chicago and have been overly impressed both times. From the level of detail in the construction of the product to service questions during installation, they pride themselves on producing the very best in quality and it shows. When you are ready for a big boy outdoor kitchen start with Kalamazoo.

Tremendous product knowledge, excellent technical guidance, accommodating attitude -- and a fantastic product line -- all helped achieve the client's needs and our design goals. Do not hesitate contacting Chris if you're looking for creative solutions to outdoor kitchen challenges.
