Default I measured my kitchen triangle.

Roughly:

Fridge to stove 3 ft. 8 inches
Fridge to sink 9 ft. 3 inches
Stove to sink 9 ft. 8 inches

I have to walk around the "storage only" island in the middle to get
from the fridge to the sink or the stove to the sink. Whoever designed
this kitchen layout obviously didn't cook.

I don't know the dimensions of my fav kitchen, but it was galley style
and I really liked it. The fridge and stove were right across from each
other, just turn around and take a step. The sink and dishwasher were
just a couple of steps away. It was a true triangle and very
functional. It also plenty of storage and counter space.
