Does this mean that a dinning room, panty and bedroom also need 2 small appliance branch circuits? Two circuits in each of the room listed above? Or two all together?

Thanks
Bob

Does this mean that a dinning room, panty and bedroom . . .

I'll side step "panty", I know you mean "pantry" (although it is funny), but "bedroom"?

Where did bedroom come from?

Refers to all areas mentioned, not each individual area... but note it states two or more SA circuits, so you are not limited to just two for all these areas. Two is just the minimum permitted.

2 total. Though you should supply the fridge with it's own dedicated minimum 15 amp circuit. Your call.

For this part of the Required Outlets passage, there is not a requirement that each room (or similar area) has to have any more than one of the circuits present in it for the required receptacle outlets. One can install the receptacle outlets of, say the dining room, on more than one circuit, if it makes sense to, but this passage doesn't require it.

You can install two SA circuits to serve kitchen counter receptacles, then use the same two circuits to hit all the receptacles in the dining room and in the den and in the breakfast room, etc. Not a good design plan, but not a violation either.

Could supply the fridge. But not required.

Den not required to be SA circuit.
