History

The Kitchen was opened at Marconi Avenue in 1991 by chefs Randall Selland and Nancy Zimmer, both husband and wife, alongside Nancy's catering business.[1][2] Randall and Nancy moved the restaurant and her catering business to 2225 Hurley Way in 1997. In 2001, Selland's Market Cafe was opened, and Nancy reduced her catering business from full service to only drop-offs and pickups from the cafe.[2]

The Kitchen's executive chef is Kelly McCowan, who has worked at the restaurant since 1990s.[3] Its menu has been seasonal.[1] In 2003, Tuesday nights were reserved for only private dining, and it publicly operated from Wednesday to Saturday nights per week.[2]

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, The Kitchen was closed throughout most of the year 2020 until October 14.[4]

As of 2019, The Kitchen has received highest Zagat ratings and the AAA Five Diamond Award consecutively since 2011.[5][6] OpenTable named it one of top 100 restaurants in the United States providing "best service" in 2012[7] and then "100 Best Restaurants" in the US for 2016.[8] The Kitchen received its first Michelin star on June 3, 2019, becoming the first Michelin-starred restaurant in Sacramento.[1] The USA Today in August 2019 ranked it thirtieth out of its top thirty restaurants in the US, reviewed by 24/7 Wall St.[9]

As of September 2021, The Kitchen remains the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the city.[10]
