We’re looking for nonfiction and poetry that cuts to the bone—work that exposes the brutal truths of professional kitchens, the industry’s relentless grind, and the lives shaped by it. Give us the weight of the line, the high-stakes adrenaline of service, the wreckage left behind after closing time. Show us how food binds and breaks us, how it feeds more than just the body, how it leaves its mark long after the plates are cleared.
