Here's all I could find . from the 2000 IRC

E3603.2 Kitchen and dining area receptacles.A minimum of

two 20-ampere-rated branch circuits shall be provided to serve

receptacles located in the kitchen, pantry, breakfast area and

dining area. The kitchen countertop receptacles shall be served

by a minimum of two 20-ampere-rated branch circuits, either

or both of which shall also be permitted to supply other receptacle

outlets in the kitchen, pantry, breakfast area and dining area.

I don't think that's correct -- do you have a Code cite for it? I see
where
the Code prohibits other *outlets* on those circuits (e.g. in other
