Was that in The Atlantic? I just read it today. I gasped when I read about the firm that has designed a fairly middle-class (not Downton Abbey) home with TWO kitchens--one for that all-important beautiful society-ready and pristine kitchen "for entertaining" and then another kitchen behind it, where all the real live kitchen mess takes place. Kind of like one of those appliance garages, big enough to garage a whole kitchen.
Or, like having a Food Network set as the "entertaining" kitchen. Just for the cameras.
