Summary
Nick and Paul sit down with longtime family friend and community leader Bob Porter to trace how the kitchens many of us grew up in, Italian, Greek, Serbian, and other old-world spaces, quietly shaped the way we design modern ones. Through stories about soffit demo, appliance upgrades, outdoor cooking setups, and a pantry that functions like a second kitchen, the episode connects real family workflows to the design principles behind today’s high-performance residential kitchens.
