    I'm struggling to imagine what this is...

    It's like a walk in pantry with like a stovetop or some shit?

      It's a kitchen for the help to cook in while you pretend you did some cooking in your show kitchen while entertaining guests. Both are fully functional kitchens.

      It sounds like a 21st version of a sculllery.

      Scullery

      A scullery is a room in a house, traditionally used for washing up dishes and laundering clothes, or as an overflow kitchen.

      In May, about 30 eighth graders gathered around the large island in an Indianapolis kitchen to belt out “The sun’ll come out tomorrow” to celebrate a successful school production of “Annie.” About 60 parents cheered them on, spilling out onto the patio.

      For Jayme Moss, the host who opened her home to the guests, the moment marked another milestone: not a single dirty plate, tray or bowl tarnished the photos or videos. The sizable mess that comes from serving pasta and cake to a crowd of 90 was hidden in her back kitchen, a smaller room tucked behind the main one.

      It's a full out kitchen that you have hidden away, usually behind the main kitchen. It's the kitchen that gets dirty and has all the cooking smells and stuff within it, the other kitchen is kept spotless with the highest tier appliances possible in order to show off to other petit boug types.

      I try to limit the time I spend imagining them begging for mercy at the hands of a revolutionary tribunal

    We heard you like kitchens so we put a kitchen in your kitchen so you can be in your kitchen-kitchen in the kitchen when you're in the kitchen.

    My upper middle class grandparents had something like this built in the 70's. They had a regular kitchen where they did all their cooking and then they had a combined kitchen/wood shop (yes, it makes no sense) tucked behind their garage.

    I only think I ever saw the extra kitchen used once. The rest of the time it was used as a storage space for random crap.

      idk about the wood shop but sounds like theoretically it'd be where you'd do your canning

        Or a set of burners for heating up hide glue in a double boiler. Also, olive oil and turmeric give shellac finishes a more interesting flavor than standard polyurethane, if you like to lick your homemade furniture.

    This concept feels like something that a Jane Krakowski character would patronizingly explain to her uncultured poor friend
