When I had my kitchen remodelled, I told the contractor that I wanted a brick oven so I could make original Italian pizza from home.
Somewhere or another there was a loss of signal between asking for a brick oven and what I got. I got home from a business trip, and expected to see the brick oven in my kitchen. What I ended up with when I got home, was a large brick fireplace where the oven was supposed to be. Granted, the fireplace was equipped with a door up top where I could bake pizza, but it wasn’t what I wanted. I could only imagine the cost this fireplace was going to add to my kitchen remodel. I called my contractor and asked him where he got the idea for a fireplace. He said it was in the picture I had sent him. I looked at the picture I put in the email, and there was a small wood fired oven. Then I realized I had attached another photo that was of a fireplace with a small wood fired oven at the top. I was devastated, but I knew there was no way I could have the contractor remove the fireplace without a lot of added expense. I asked him if it would be possible to leave the wood fired oven and remove the fireplace and he went silent. He asked why I would want to do that since I was opening an Italian restaurant. Yes! Why indeed? I guessed I could see how the fireplace may be a draw for customers, but along with the wood fired oven, it was going to be really hot for my chefs.
