In our old house we did something similar to what John W did in his former home. Our wall was not load bearing and it really opened the kitchen up and made it easy to talk, watch t.v., etc. while I cooked. Our kitchen was a square and it worked out better for our space to have the kitchen stools on the kitchen side of the breakfast bar. We had a license contractor do the work and the contractor was able to tell that the wall was not load bearing. It was definitely worth doing.
