hey Tim can you tell me a little bit about yourself who you are where you came from and I am born and bred right here in the state of Tennessee if that matters at all uh that’s who I am I kind of bleed orange if you know what I mean that’s you our colors of University of
0:15
Tennessee I’m a family guy I was in the commercial kitchen industry for 25 years my kids add me on and said dad you should get on social media I think that they would like you and so since that process began back in the middle of covid started filming and my passion for
0:30
food has never changed and never died down and so that’s where I end up right now in this space cooking for social media and of course my family and friends awesome I’d say you made a great move cuz I’ve watched you all day and it’s it’s h you’re you’re perfect at it
0:45
well thank [Music] you with the RTA kitchen you worked with a designer who was that and how was that
1:00
experience I did his name was Daniel and we had several exchanges via email and then we also have several video calls just to hone in on the exact details what I was looking for what would best
1:15
suit my needs not only as a content creator but also as a chef and what I’m looking for the specific pieces of equipment and how long the island should be as well as the main cooking area over against the wall over there behind me
1:30
yeah Daniel’s a great guy and he’s real smart with this kind of stuff he can design some really special kitchens yeah he did I mean he did a great job with the renderings and uh making things look three-dimensional so that I could have the right angle to make sure that I feel like it would fit with what I need and
1:45
what I’m looking for in an outdoor kitchen how was your 3D rendering compared to what the outcome was perfect dude I mean it’s the placement what it looked like was exactly what I expected the color scheme
2:00
the pattern the placement of the The Griddle the pellet grill where I thought it would be the height how it fits Off the Wall came out just perfect based on the renderings and the process of what that looked like one of the things I
2:15
appreciate about Daniel is I mean he said it numerous times in an email and on our calls man I don’t want an inch to be sacrifice and making sure that you get the perfect kitchen for your outdoor space total custom absolutely awesome and even the install was a great I it
2:30
was a great process that’s what was going to be one of my next questions is how was the install for you was it to go pretty easy quick went just smooth it was really easy uh really heavy uh but other than that it went great they
2:45
assembled it and what I loved about the assembly process was Phil was there he goes Tim send me a text give me a call give me a video call like FaceTime if something’s not fitting or if there’s something not just uh going according to
3:00
plan you call me and that’s what we did and it gave me quick easy solutions and it all came together in about maybe 5 hours yep that’s pretty good Phils with the CSS team they know
3:15
these kitchens from A to Z and can help you with the insulation across the board they they know everything about the kitchen they know a lot about the appliances they’re it’s a great great resource to have so as you were putting the kitchen together and as you use your
3:30
kitchen what do you what do you think about the quality of it and the finish of it what’s your thoughts on that so the quality I would point to the manufacturing process I can tell there was a lot of attention to detail in the manufacturing of the Cabinetry work you
3:45
could tell that they paid close attention to detail to make sure everything aligned I know this sounds a little cliche but it was almost like with the pellet grill and the grill flat top it was kind of like Plug and Play it’s not a PlayStation but you know what
4:00
I mean that’s what we go for and I I know a couple people at the manufacturing facility and I know that they really take care of of the quality process all made by hand made in Cambridge City Indiana so they take a lot of pride in knowing that when the
4:15
kitchens go out there it’s going to be uh be able to be put together flawlessly and there was no outlining questions of oh well we forgot that or you didn’t take that into account like for example when we constructed this deck the construction process now it’s a great
4:30
deck it’s a great structure but there’s always these little unknowns sometimes that would always come up and a few other projects around the house but how I compare those to this I mean there’s really there’s not a comparison yeah if
4:45
I could just be completely honest good yeah that’s great it’s not the whole contractor cliche of two weeks tops there’s not I mean it’s just a really easy streamline process we put a lot of emphasis on once we received the blueprint in the manufacturing facility
5:00
getting it to the customer as soon as possible yeah it well it happened pretty quick soon as I got that notification that it was coming I was all giggly and excited good deal
