granites are always chosen when doing kitchen or any countertop remodeling in Massachusetts.

most granites dont pass the health test in tasmania because they have a small holed texture. people seem to put them in houses quite happily but not in public eateries.

This is one reason why designers are leaning towards other surfaces such as quartz and concrete. Problem is, most concrete countertop installers dont have the experience to do a nice job. Fu Tung Cheng's work is perhaps the best I have seen. Do a search for Cheng countertops.
