Hahaha. I'd be splashing hot grease on the dinner guests.Not a fan because:
-ventilation is a problem
-no backsplash means you're just getting your island dirty everytime you fry or saute anything
And most importantly... you're not a teppanyaki restaurant. TV cooking shows use this setup simply because it's convenient for filming. Putting chairs or stools at the island is nice, but you don't actually need the stove on your island to be able to socialize around your kitchen island.
