Motronic posted:Butcher block when properly oiled is quite sanitary. Real, actual butchers use it every day to cut the meat you likely purchase at a store. At the butcher shop I go to they've had the same ones for DECADES and a couple of them are lightly bowl shaped now from use. I don't know what "commercial butcher shop" looks like, most I've seen are small, old and family owned. They tend to use all sort of random poo poo. Anything that is modern, commercial and associated with food prep will have steel surfaces. I'm in Philadelphia by the way. Not sure if it matters. Also yes, the majority of stuff I'm referring to is the varnished block. Commonly sold for non-food prep counter surface.

I was in a bar once with tiled everything and floor drains. Tiled floor, tiled walls, tiled ceilings. The clientele gave me the impression it was somewhere that a knife fight breaks out on a regular basis, so the large up front cost probably saved a lot of time.

Hnnnnngggggggg That's basically my vanity that I just put in but I put in undermount sinks. I wish I could talk my husband into loving concrete as much as I do but I got a compromise of large gray variations in porcelain tiles with light blue grey walls.

Vulture Culture posted:yes, commercial butcher shops design their work surfaces for aesthetics in the exact same way a private home would You're missing the point. He's arguing that a butcher block can hold up to constant use for decades if properly maintained, assuming it's an actual butcher block and not a hunk of wood that's been sealed with a sealant. The butcher shop example supports the argument that no, they don't just get hacked up and wear out in a few years of normal home-kitchen use, assuming you know how to properly use and care for the wood.

Yeah, and even if the butcher block gets neglected, the solution is still "sand it down, oil, and its as good as new"

They have a view so exquisite, no one can look in without some means of attaching a camera to a small flying hovering device.

Shifty Pony posted:At least can we all agree that grouted tile is an awful idea for countertops? I once looked at a place that had used it's leftover floor tile to do the kitchen counters. It was that grey-brown, textured slate, so it kind of looked like a really bad mold problem creeping up from the floor.
