Sorry to jump in on this one. We are getting K the Kidkraft retro kitchen, the same kitchen that Loyo has for AC. The kitchen we got is pink, but they also have a similar red version on amazon that would work well for a boy.
Bethany I remember Monica saying Caleb has one. They have some more boy looking kitchens out there...maybe if you also buy GK a grilling set the kitchen idea would be a little more appealing
We ended up getting the Little Tikes Wooden Kitchen set. It's a tad smaller than I expected it to be, But Avery loves it and I love that there is a lot of 'storage' compartments to be able to stash the play food and dishes in it.
It was a PITA to put together, but overall I'm really happy with it. Also - the little tikes customer service was great - we had a panel that ended up splitting due to us using the wrong hardware, and they sent a new piece within a few days.

The other one I was looking at that was wooden and pretty unisex was the guidecraft kitchen - https://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=guidecraft+kitchen&rlz=1I7DNUS_en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=242098687144863064&ei=ch_STOBfgoKUB5qnrYgO&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CDEQ8gIwAA#
Jarrett does, too! I mentioned it the other day, and he looked at me like I had 3 heads!
We're making one for Sarah:
