Husband and wife team of Chef Randall Selland and Chef Nancy Zimmer, along with their grown children Josh Nelson and Tamera Baker, founded The Kitchen Restaurant in 1991. The family was among the first to emphasize “Farm-to-Fork” dining in the Sacramento region over twenty years ago. They’ve been building a relationship and supporting local farmers, growers, ranchers and artisan producers since the inception of The Kitchen. The quality, commitment, and passion that the Selland family brings to The Kitchen have created a landmark restaurant that has sold out nightly for more than twenty years. At The Kitchen there are no rules…feel free to explore the kitchen and cellar, chat with our team, maybe learn a couple of secrets, help with some culinary creations, and even ask for more of a dish you are particularly fond of. The Kitchen is our home, our door is open, and we welcome you to enjoy all we have to offer.
