This is nothing new! Only in pretentious households have guests had to stay in the parlor. Or if the kitchen is really small.

Beer + fridge

My 89yo father told me forty years ago that all good parties begin and finish in the kitchen.

Uh, food?

Like my husband, you are impatient & want the food asap....you go in because you can't wait

Theory 2: Your hosts keep the house too cold & the kitchen is where the oven is...

You want to make sure everyone preparing/touching food is washing their hands lol

Is it because people like to eat? DUH!

Tomorrow: why are dirty people attracted to showers?

That’s where the food is

IDK, it’s always where my parents and their friends ended up in the 60s.

however. there will be loving resumed in the midnight of the kitchen... often. hug kiss Armand (lol).

Its where the liquor and ice is kept

My family named our Christmas Eve gathering 'Christmas in the Kitchen' - we all bring something to cook and make it a point to spend the entire afternoon/evening in the kitchen (which we always did anyway). One of our favorite traditions!

I first heard about kitchen parties from GreatBigSea years ago. Guess it's a Newfoundland thing.

Good food in a kitchen that is used well is our universal language.

It's where the ladies are?

That's where a woman belongs! And the men and children are just trying to spend some quality time with Mom.

The beer is in the fridge ! Dah 😉

Because it’s a person you like to be around stuck in the kitchen..and the niceness is contagious

More huffing options

Do skinny people really not know the answer

It’s where the food is and the kids aren’t.

And people tend to be more at ease there.

That’s where the food is the booze is and your possible contribution to said party . Dishes to be washed

Food, seats, no centered tv.

Cuz that’s where the spiked punch sits

Because it is where the food supply is - of course.

It's where the food is kept
