1. A refrigerator, comprising:
a housing; a first drawer slidably disposed in the housing between a withdrawn position and an inserted position, the first drawer including a bottom boundary wall, a front boundary wall, two lateral boundary walls, and a rear boundary wall; and an inner drawer disposed in an upper region of the first drawer and including a storage area to accommodate food items within the storage area, the storage area having a front section with a shorter depth than a depth of the first drawer and a rear section that extends to a depth that is approximately the same as the depth of the first drawer, wherein the front section has a cutout in plan view through which the bottom boundary wall of the first drawer is visible such that an item having a height substantially equal to a height of the front boundary wall can be accommodated in the first drawer in an area corresponding to the cutout without interference from the inner drawer when the first drawer is in the inserted position, wherein the cutout extends to a front edge of the inner drawer and extends to a lateral edge of the inner drawer such that the cutout is directly opposed to the front boundary wall when the first drawer is in the inserted positions, and wherein depth is measured in a direction extending from the front boundary wall to the rear boundary wall.
