Escapism or Bad Taste: Pre-Pandemic Tours of Celebrities' Fantastic, Well-Stocked Kitchens (That Many Say They Never Cook In)

"This is where you would prepare the food, from what I've seen"

By Rain Noe - April 23, 2020

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.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
