Default Chef Tell Kitchen; celebrity kitchen designer?

Yes, the Chef Tell kitchen was a Poggenpohl, but I understand that
Poggenpohl was considerably "CHEAPENED" after being acquired -- yuse a
lot of contact paper instead of laminate, etc. Is that true?

Also, you are right that Elizabeth Taylor doesn't pour the perfume in
to the bottles, but in this case I called the telephone number and
spoke to the designer himself.
