Well, really, for holiday outings and feasts, Option 1 kitchen is quite functional.
Counter space, people - there can never, ever be too much counter space. I have a relative who has a kitchen like #1 and I have a relative who has a kitchen with
less counter space than #2 (although this relative also has an utterly massive living room and huge master bedroom in a house with really unevenly sized rooms), and guess who is most satisfied with their kitchen? Relative who has a kitchen like Option 1, yes.
