The kitchens on the Kitchen.

I am watching The Kitchen and Geoffrey Zakarian is on. His kitchen is nice, although not my favorite, and noticed how much stuff is on his counters and even the island.  It would drive me crazy.

 

My favorite kitchens are:

 

#1  Jeff Mauro - white kitchen, not cluttered.

 

#2  Alex Guarnaschelli - I watched a video of her showing her kitchen. It is      beautiful.

 

#3  Katie Lee -  again too much stuff.

 

#4  Zakarian

 

Sunny is always outside.

 

Do you have a favorite?

You can tell who is a real cook and who isn't by the clutter.

Clean folk have hired help.

Hopefully someone will help me with the name of chef on HSN who is a regular product rep for a number of cookware, grills, and kitchen gadgets.  He's a big guy who has a beard and has ben coming on air for years (he's also on a few infomercials).  His kitchen is colorful like a retro diner, and there was a jukebox in a corner.  It had the feel of being a fun place to hang out.

I like Jeff Mauro's kitchen the best.   It's the one that I feel is the most comfortable.

@J Town Girl   I agree.  I would be happy in that kitchen.  The mirror behind Katie Lee's stove bugs me.  Seems are to clean than tile backsplash.

 

Zakanian's is too...I don't know the word I want. It cracks me up when he wears a sport coat to cook in his own house.  It's like June Cleaver cleaning in a dress, stockings and pearls.

@CrazyKittyLvr2  I just think that's his signature way of dressing. I don't watch The Kitchen that much but doesn't he dress like that on the show? Also when he is a judge on Chopped he dresses the same. Wants to always be seen 'in character'. Lol

GZ's kitchen is my favorite. I've really enjoyed checking out people's homes during the quarantine shows. Sometimes I pay more attention to the books and background decor than to what they are saying

I like Jeff Mauro's kitchen because it looks more like a family kitchen. I like Katie but her kitchen, not so much. It seems like tight quarters and those mirrors don't do anything for me. I wish I could see Sunny's kitchen

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Same assessment as you noted.

 

I do like the outside of Katie's house -- does she live on Long Island? She's right there by the sea. But too much clutter in her kitchen.
