when it comes to your favorite cooking shows you might be surprised by those who don't film or cook in their actual home kitchens aina garden has a complete replica of her actual kitchen and what she calls the barn while it might not be a total replica drummond of the pioneer woman certainly has a spare kitchen that she uses like an office and what her family refers to as the lodge according to the pioneer woman the lodge is not only where the show is filmed but it's also where she does all kinds of food related work from testing new recipes to writing and photographing food for her cookbooks drummond really uses the lodge as an all-in-one space but it isn't all work and no play at the lodge she throws parties there too welcome to my frontier it's even open to the public for tours between 9am and 5pm on scheduled tour days tickets are available at the mercantile and they're totally free you can ask questions and drummond even said we invite people to poke around and open drawers although sometimes i wish i had them organized a little more while ree is all for fans and visitors stopping by to take a look at where their favorite cooking show was filmed she wasn't the one to envision the tours apparently it was her husband lad drummond who came up with the idea to open the lodge to guests and tourists reece said the lodge is 18 miles out of town on an unpaved road i thought somebody would get a flat tire but lad pointed out that people are coming all the way to pawhuska to visit our store and restaurant he wanted to expand their experience clearly ladd had the right idea according to the pioneer woman hundreds of people drive into rural pawhuska to visit the lodge every month and the lodge isn't all the town has to offer no trip would be complete without a stop by the mercantile to pick up some of the show's exclusive merchandise useful kitchen tools and apparel to top it all off the mercantiles cafe offers light bites and sweet treats for a little post-tour indulgence before hitting the hay one couple that visited shared some of the surprising and fun insights they gained about how drummond does things for her cooking show on their blog postcard jar according to postcard jar drummond keeps a well-stocked pantry filled with everyday items her spice collection is nothing fancy and even includes some bottles and jars of generic brands the couple also pointed out that she had ramen on hand and canned frosting too and also i use a lot of ingredients that are pretty easy to get the pair said the lodge feels quote lived in and shows just how down to earth the family really is adding that instead of providing an address that could be used in a gps the drummonds provide tourists with detailed old-fashioned directions to the lodge it turns out that the lodge was actually a second home that's only two miles from where re and lad live today according to parade the lodge was first constructed in the 1950s and was actually where ladd was living when he met rhee but in 2008 the family decided to remodel the lodge while they had intended to turn it into a guest house that didn't exactly happen but it is somewhat of a guest house today instead of friends and family using the lodge as a guest house it's the crew who sleeps in the four bedrooms there when they are filming the pioneer woman of course it is also outfitted with a test kitchen prep space an office and even a prop room to accommodate all of the celebrity chef's culinary and business needs three explained to parade that having the set as a separate space from her home gives her a better work life balance telling the publication if it had to be at our house i don't think we could do any of it because our house is definitely the real world you need a place to close the door and just be in your yoga pants check out one of our newest videos right here plus even more mashed videos about your favorite chefs are coming soon subscribe to our youtube channel and hit the bell so you don't miss a single one you
