Iron Chef Jose Garces knows a thing or two about building kitchens: He helped design them at each of his 17 restaurants, so when he had to plan this kitchen at his farmhouse in Bucks County, Pa., he was more than prepared. The house is a getaway for the Garces family — Jose and his wife, Beatriz, a dentist, and their two kids, Olivia and Andrés. But it does double duty as an event space for Jose's charity, The Garces Foundation, which helps provide health resources to Philadelphia immigrants. Because fundraising dinners can include as many as 75 people, Jose says: "I wanted to have the capacity to cook a lot of food. Oven space is key." He installed two wall convection ovens, plus a 48-inch BlueStar range and a powerful stainless steel Prizer hood that can vent like nobody's business. The hood is great for when he's making paella and tapas for dozens of guests, and it's even better for nights like one recent Saturday when he and the kids cranked out late-night pizza and cookies. "We finished at midnight," he recalls. "It was epic!"
