It will depend how the inspector defines kitchens the NEC doesn't seem to do it so it is up to him as what he considers a kitchen. In the majority of jurisdictions that my company has supplied refreshment stands the inspectors has asked they betreated as kitchens. If there is a sink, a coffeemaker or microwave then they tend to call it a kitchen or anywhere food may be perpared.

You know, it is interesting that everyone knew what a bathroom was until GFCI's were required in them. At close to $50 a pop back then, no one knew what a bathroom was anymore. A strange thing happened; a definition was made so everyone knew what a bathroom was. Now . . . :roll:
