Alan Asarnow, CMKBD Recognized for Years of Dedication

"There have been many members of our association through the years that have come and gone. Many have been very dedicated, some more than others. I would like to recognize one individual that has been extremely instrumental in building and maintaining our association at the highest level. This is someone that I would call a mentor to me and all of our chapter officers. If you ever have a question, you know you pick up the phone and call him. His line is always open for us.

On behalf of the Northern New Jersey Chapter, it is my honor to present Alan with this plaque for all the years of dedication that you have given this Chapter.

Like I said earlier, this is one of the Best chapters in the Nation and Alan, you had a lot to do with that."

2012 Best Kitchen: The Presence of Hospitality

Peter Ross Salerno, CMKBD
Peter Salerno Inc., Wyckoff, NJ

One has to do a double take to realize this isn’t a restaurant, it’s someone’s home kitchen. With 2 passionate cooks as clients, the designers were challenged to create a kitchen that served as both a professional culinary experience and a comforting eating space. With the obvious main attraction being the food prep island, the client’s are sure to create gourmet masterpieces. The 11 foot stainless steel island has four work stations, complete with 2 ovens, eight burners, a griddle, a salamander, a sink, built in ice container, and pot filler. An enormous custom four sided stainless steel exhaust hood with built in halogen lighting completes the island, illuminating the entire cooking and prep area. With a kitchen like this, it wouldn’t be hard for the client’s to open up a small restaurant. For now, though, they’ll just enjoy it as a family.
