Kitchen and Dining Room over garage?
All – My wife and I have been looking for another house for a while now. Came across one that would need an attached garage built. The kitchen of the house is in pretty bad shape too. We thought about building a 3 car attached garage with a kitchen/dining area above it. I cannot ever recall seeing a kitchen above the garage. I know we’d have to take extra steps to insulate pipes from freezing. But, are there any other reasons why this isn’t common?

Seems kind of odd to go upstairs to cook and eat, particularly since the kitchen nowadays is an activity focal point. Split foyer designs often have the garage below the kitchen, but everything else is on the kitchen's level, also. I wouldn't do it, particularly if I ever wished to sell it later. The second poster probably had bad things to say about you.
That's a difficult haul for groceries and garbage.
