    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.

      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.
