If abs are made in the kitchen, then why...

... do planks or any ab work?

"Abs are made in the kitchen" is a counter punch to people doing loads of ab work while overweight... Its a stab at spot reduction myths... Its bringing light to the fact that abs are not visible until you reach a low enough BF%

That elephant is wasting its time doing planks.. It needs to lay off the peanuts.

Don't know, I don't and always wondered why the 1 trainer in our gym every Wed has the small group he trains do ab work for like 45 minutes, they did their first squats today....ever, so +1 there.

So many combinations work the core just as well.
