My kitchen is a triangle with the sink in the center.

Stove to sink about 5 ft.
Sink to fridge about 5 1/2 ft.
Fridge to stove about 9 ft.

About 6 ft directly opposite the sink (but not in the way of the path
from the fridge to the stove) is a prep island. This faces into the
eating area and then the family room beyond that.

I love my kitchen because it is huge (about 14 ft. of counter space
plus what is on the island) and because when I'm doing stuff at the
island I can see the TV. I would not ever want a closed-in kitchen
again.
