Architectural Digest dug through their archives of celebrity house tours, then edited together "14 of the Finest Celebrity Kitchens" and posted a supercut this week. After watching it, I'm not sure where it falls on the line between escapism and bad taste.
To be clear, I can't fault the celebrities; the footage was shot pre-pandemic, and it's rich and famous people doing what rich and famous people do. But I wonder how ordinary folks are supposed to feel, seeing these out-of-reach, well-stocked kitchens that many of those profiled say they never actually cook in. (I think if I was one of those celebs and found that the footage was airing now, I'd be pretty pissed.)

Remember when this site had design-related content? That was neat.
Who gives a fuck? If the kitchen is not used, it is not a kitchen, and your regular kitchen with Home depot acquired appliances is far better.
