We want nonfiction and poetry that cuts deep, work that shows the raw truth of kitchen life. Bring us the burns, the broken sleep, the endless prep that wears down the body. Capture the chaos of service when every second matters, the rage and adrenaline that carry a crew through the night, and the wreckage left once the lights go out. Show how food keeps people alive and at the same time tears them apart, how the work leaves marks that stay long after the dishes are washed and the doors are locked.
