Marc Murphy's Kitchen
Chef Marc Murphy spends many nights tucked away in the kitchens of his four New York City restaurants, so he had one goal while he and his wife, Pamela, were designing their oceanfront summer home in the Hamptons: a house without a kitchen. That is, he didn't want a totally separate cooking space. "People always hang out in the kitchen and not the living room," the frequent Chopped judge says. "So here, I wanted the kitchen to be in the living room." The result is one big room (all white, at his wife's insistence), with only a long island separating the chef from a great room that looks out over the Atlantic Ocean, 50 yards away.
