Southbend “Ultimate” 60" Gas Restaurant Range

Engineered for high-volume kitchens that refuse to compromise, the Southbend Ultimate Series combines rugged construction with the cooking flexibility chefs demand. This 60" model blends blazing open-top performance, a precision thermostatic griddle, and a full-size convection oven—while still giving you a stainless storage cabinet for dry goods or sheet pans.
