If I ever have enough money to buy a house, I want a kitchen that's isolated anyway. It can still be attached to the main building, but I want to be able to cook in the summers and only heat up one room. I'd also like the kitchen to be on it's own sub-panel anyway since I'd like the option of using 20A appliances at each outlet anyway.

I think code requires 20A circuits in the kitchen. Not sure though.
You completely misunderstand.
The whole kitchen would have a sub-panel _in_ the kitchen; because EVERY OUTLET would be it's own independent 20A capable circuit, run back to that sub-panel.
I don't expect to use 20A from every outlet all the time, but I don't want to be constrained from any mix-and-match of devices I need within the room's power budget.
