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"

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.
