15 TV Kitchens That Make the Food Look Even Better

A good TV kitchen can make you hungry before anyone even turns on the stove. Sookie’s kitchen in Gilmore Girls is always busy, Julia Child has enough copper cookware to stock a restaurant, and the women of The Golden Girls somehow make cheesecake at midnight sound like a perfectly reasonable dinner plan. Some television kitchens are spotless, with expensive counters and carefully arranged cabinets. Others are crowded with dirty dishes, mismatched mugs, and whatever somebody left on the stove. The best ones feel like places where people actually cook, argue, eat, and occasionally make a complete mess. Here are 15 TV kitchens that make the food look even better.
