It doesn't get much love here, but I've had some good meals at Feges. I only eat there if we're randomly in the area during lunch though. The sausage is my favorite part about Pit Room. I think I saw they're opening one out closer to me which is nice.
I've had average and great meals at Pinkerton's, Pit Room, and Corkscrew. Tejas and Truth have been only great. It's always disappointing to catch an off day, especially at the current prices or if you've talked it up to someone from out of town.
Regardless, 23 cf is plenty of space for two people. Our main fridge is 16 cf fridge/6 cf freezer and is more than enough for our family of four. We do have a secondary fridge for drinks only that is never close to full and isn't really necessary. Extra room just ends up storing shit you don't actually need and will toss in the garbage. I do get the appeal of a separate deep freeze if you want to stock up.
24 and 18 is still obviously the equivalent of a 42 which is a big ass fridge. I've considered just doing a single 36 column in the kitchen since we have a fridge in our utility room that has a freezer. We'll see. The Sub-Zero was cut from our recent renovation, but the cabinet is there for when we do get one.
Other than the super fast boil and less risk of getting burned, why do people like induction so much? We had one in our current house when we moved in and switched back to gas. I didn't cook on it much because I didn't like it. My wife complained about it quite a bit. It was a fairly nice Miele too. What am I missing?
Also on the fridge, Sub-Zero is the standard, but if money was no object I'd look at a True. BlueStar also makes some really nice looking built-ins although they are fairly new to the game. I guess if you want them paneled those are out though.
