Probably a GFCI type socket designed for wet areas like kitchens and baths. Look at the plugs in your kitchen and actually any other plug thats out. At least one of them should have a small red rectangular button on it. That's the reset switch. Press it and see if it works. Sometimes that sort of socket is connected in series with only one plug having the reset switch that controls all of them,

You kitchen outlets are probably what are called GFI outlets. It means that they shut down automatically if they are overloaded or water gets in them (they protect you from electrocution and/or fire). What you have to do is look for the outlet that has a little buttons on it that says "test" and "reset". This is the main outlet that all the others are (or should be) powered from. Press the reset button (the test button should pop up) and that should do it.

Check your plugs to see if any are GFI. Look for a reset button to push on the plug.

If that isn't the problem, you have a loose wire somewhere and will need to call someone with knowledge to fix it.

I'm a master electrician.

Sounds like a GFI tripped. Go around your kitchen and find the one with a button to reset it. That should take care of you. Good luck
