Welcome to the forum.
What is your model?
As far as I remember there is only one GFI in our cat. Not sure though what could be the problem.

From Ft. Knox and Winona
Is there an outlet near enough to the kitchen sink that it should have a GFCI?

There is only one GFI with the reset/test switch. The remaining protected outlets are downstream from this primary GFI outlet. So if the GFI tripped, it would kill the kitchen, bathroom and outside outlets in one shot.

The non-GFI outlets should be on a separate breaker and may/could still be operational

Welcome to the forum.
I have heard these GFI outlets go bad, but you said you reset the breaker. All GFCI outlets have TEST/RESET buttons, did you try resetting them?

If you've reset the breaker and have to power, use a multimeter to test the back of the GFI for 120V. Also test at the back side of the breaker in the panel to make sure current is flowing.
