Default Plugged kitchen drain

Question for any plumbers on the site. My kitchen drain is fully clogged. I removed the p trap and snaked the pipe out to a T fitting, when the snake hits the T fitting it always goes up not down. I found an inspection cover about a foot under that T fitting and snaked it right out to the main line. the plug is between the T and the inspection cover and I can't get the snake in there no matter how much I mess with it. I tried feeding a coat hanger up from the inspection hole with no luck, tried getting the snake to go up from the inspection hole with no luck. Plunger doesn't work, I'm pretty sure where the pipe goes up leads to a vent so there is no seal to force the clog. I've run out of ideas short of cutting the pipe but I'm not doing that and would need to hire a plumber. I don't like the idea of trying a liquid drain opener because if it doesn't work I'll be stuck with a pipe full of chemicals that I have to deal with. Any ideas? Anyone had good luck with Liquid Plumr or Drano?
