Hi, I am curious if anyone knows were to find online or who to call to find out the requirements of a second kitchen. We have a full basement that we gutted about four years ago, it is not finished again yet but we are thinking about taking a section and turning it into a small commerical kitchen for me to work in until I have the money to move out of the house or we move to a bigger house were we can build me a building. Anyway, I am not sure how that would work and or what we would need to do. Plumbing has been ran and my BIL would come hook up a 3 bowl sink for me, it is more of can I have it in the basement knowing that I would have to walk down a hall and up the stairs in order to get the cakes out, is that okay and whatelse is MUST haves according to state regs.

Thanks to anyone who can help, I have been trying to figure this out for weeks and am just not sure who to call. I do know in Missouri it is decided by the counties and not by the state, but we don't have a nice cottage law like some of the other states.

Did you ever find anything out? I'm also in Jackson County and trying to figure out requirements.

Your best bet is probably the Jackson County Environmental Health dept at (816) 881-4634.
