The Kitchen is a Michelin-starred farm-to-fork restaurant in Sacramento, California.
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 McCown, 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]
