2 drain on a kitchen sink makes a lot of sense, actually.
Except that none of the sink drain stuff connects up to it directly.

I was just in a rental in San Francisco, and it had a GD(insinkerator
brand), one would think SF would be the first to ban a GD...
I think what happened is the tennants didn't run the water while grinding,
so it sludged up instead of dispearsing.
Just my 2 cents,

Those darned baffle tees are a good way to have a clog develop!

I'm not so sure on the drains; the baffle tees have a dedicated path for each
inlet, they each are necked down to a semicircle that's about 1 3/8 across...
(not quite 3/4 between the arc and the chord at the widest point!), so it will
not take much to plug them.

Spud peels are the worst because they swell up when you grind them in

clean my drains out several times when we had one in Houston because of
that (and someone not using enough water, and feeding them in too fast,
