Fish Don't Fry in the Kitchen?

Q: Dear Dougo, what does "Fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill" from the Jefferson's Theme Song mean?

A: Doug kind of rambled around on this one, so Donovan had to pitch in with a coherent answer : The phrase means that they are going out to eat more often, now that they've 'moved on up.' So they don't cook as often in the kitchen.

Wow. That's the best explanation of that song I've heard. Guess I never really appreciated the subtext in The Jeffersons.
