Dear Deb:
If you weren't such a heavy-duty cook/backer I would tell you go for hone-finished black “granite” treated with a good-quality stone color enhancer like MB-6.
But the kind of good and tasty “traffic” you're describing is way too much for that!
But have I got the perfect stone for you?!
Soapstone!
Just don't use a hammer or some other tools on it! Other than that, you can throw just about whatever you want at it, and it won't even budge!
How many posts do you find in here reporting problems with soapstone?

People post here to ask questions (like you in this
Needless to say, make sure that you get the right fabricator! Don't shop on price: shop on reputation!!
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
