Does " ditching the kitchen" mean "giving up/leaving the kitchen"?
Context:
On a holiday traditionally recognized as the ultimate celebration of the home and its bounty, Americans are
ditching the kitchen and seeking out restaurants and prepared options in order to carve out more family time, reduce stress or find a better space to host a crowd.
