What is the best way to install subway tile in the kitchen?
We have cheap paneling in the kitchen, looks more like really thick cardboard pieces fused together. Can we put tile over this or do we have to remove it and prep it a different way?

Tile away!!!
Just double check that all the panels are hammered in.
You can put cement board up over the paneling and then tile. This will take a little of your space but probably only 1/4" thickness of your paneling. However, if you bust it out it will be easier to find your studs so you can screw up your cement board.
A little tip, once you have the tile up and you are waiting on the mastik to set drawer a small screw every so often in the tile spaces. This will prevent sliding.
