Let's get our doors straight here. There are TWO doors. One is the
door/stairway off the Entrance Hall that leads down to the corridor
that is wide, clean, and bright, unlike the dungeons, and is lined
with pictures of food (like bowls of fruit). 

In this underground hallway, is one particular painting that has a
pear on it, tickle that pear, and another door appears that is the
entrance to the kitchens. 

The fact that the Entrance Hall door/stairway leads to a hallway that
in turn leads to both the kitchen, and the Hufflepuff common room and
dorms is incidental. That fact that that Hufflepuffs walk that
underground hallway every day doesn't necessarily mean that they know
where the kitchens are or how to get in.

Harry's reference is to Cedric entering the Hallway, not to Cedric
entering the kitchen.

Just passing it along.
