The **Kitchen** is a location in *Five Nights at Freddy's 1* within Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in which the camera feed of the room is disabled. In terms of location, it is connected to the Dining Area.

The only animatronics who enter the Kitchen are Freddy Fazbear and Chica, as Bonnie always approaches from the West Hall and Foxy's fixed movement pattern does not include passing through the kitchen.

Though Freddy is only able to enter the Kitchen from Night 3 onward, Chica often goes through this area when approaching the player on any night. If Freddy's jingle is heard while the Monitor is focused on the Kitchen, then he is inside. Chica's presence in the Kitchen can be determined by the clattering and banging of pots and pans, which can be heard regardless of whether the camera is on the Kitchen or not. Freddy and Chica can both be present in the Kitchen at once and make their respective signal noises, somewhat unlike the other camera feeds where only one animatronic can be seen present at a time.

The Kitchen returns in *Five Nights at Freddy's 3* as part of the post-night minigames in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Like in the first game, there is no evidence of its appearance. Oddly, no door or hallway leading into it is present where it should be, not even one that is sealed off from the rest of the building.

In *Five Nights at Freddy's 4*, it is speculated that there is a kitchen in the house where the protagonist lives, as there is the banging of pots and pans are heard, similar to the first game. More evidence is shown by the entire map of the house when the player activates the "House Map" option in the Extras.

## Appearance

The Kitchen is the only area where the camera is disabled for the entirety of the game, thus no description of its physical appearance can be provided. The only way to know for certain of an animatronic's presence within the Kitchen is through the audio (or via the Android version's Cheat Mode) - the clanging of various kitchen utensils and/or Freddy's jingle, though the latter is somewhat unreliable as the jingle does not always play when Freddy is in the Kitchen.

The camera itself displays the lone text **-CAMERA DISABLED-** followed by **AUDIO ONLY** directly beneath it. The camera features exclusively a black background with lots of static covering it up.

## Trivia

* This is the only room without visual cues to determine whether the animatronics are inside. This is instead replaced by the aforementioned audio cues.
	+ Scott Cawthon himself has stated that the Kitchen has no image because he wanted an area that was left to the player's imagination.
* Strangely, Freddy's tune cannot be heard when he is present in the Kitchen on the mobile versions of the game.
	+ This is likely due to the fact that sound channel volumes only work with computers, thus Scott had to eliminate them from all of the mobile ports.
* Aside from the audio, no files for the Kitchen exist in the game.
* In the beta version, there were locations for the security cameras on the map. The beta map suggests that the disabled camera would be on the northeast wall of the Kitchen.
* Despite Chica generally moving swiftly and silently, she makes noises as if she was moving violently and sporadically in the Kitchen, hitting pots, pans, and kitchen utensils.
* The sounds of Freddy and Chica being in the Kitchen can be heard even if the Monitor isn't up.
* Freddy being in the Kitchen is the only instance in which his jingle plays while the player still has power.
* A glitch may occur where if the animatronics move and the player switches to the Kitchen and another camera, the camera feed will be identical to the Kitchen's. It may occur if the Monitor is switched too quickly, or if an animatronic moves out/in the Kitchen and in half a second (or less) after that, the camera view is changed.
* Rarely, Chica can move through the Kitchen without making a sound. This can be caused by rapidly switching cameras (only possible with a touch screen) or other means.
* There is no kitchen for the *Five Nights at Freddy's 3* location, though this is appropriate as it no longer takes place in a pizzeria, so a kitchen is not needed.
* There are no other "disabled camera" location like the Kitchen in the series.
* A glitch may commonly occur in which the banging/clanging from the Kitchen can still be heard after Chica exits the Kitchen.
* Even though the player can walk through Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the Minigames from *Five Nights at Freddy's 3*, they are still unable to see the Kitchen's appearance. The entrance to the Kitchen is sealed, like the entrance to the Restrooms. It is currently unknown why.
	+ Since the Kitchen is inaccessible in every one of its appearances, it is the only area in the entire series which is never visible to the player in any way, shape, or form.

## Audio
