This discussion brings up some (interesting) issues

Running a business from your home

Installing a second kitchen, in many areas thats not allowed, because
it makes your home 2 residences

If your getting permits for all this?

Future inspections by health authorties etc?

Space in main panel for expansion?

If OP has a handy knowledgable friend to help him you could do the
electrical yourself and learn something while you at it

I wonder if putting a little 100A subpanel in the new kitchen would be
worth the trouble? Instead of running 5 or 6 or 7 new circuits all
the way back to the main panel, run one bigass aluminum cable. Then
lots of short runs from the new box.

Personally I would spend the bucks for copper, and mnimize voltage
drops on my side of the meter

Paying extra for copper is a one time event. Small in comparision with
a new kitchen

There wouldn't be any more voltage drop with aluminum than there would be
with copper
