The Commi Kitchen watches culinary dreamers die. Yet some still cook to survive.
A sprawling warehouse of cobbled-together kitchens, insufferable smoke, and swarms of flies serves as the workplace of culinary dreamers.
The Commissary Kitchen has watched its tenants for decades. Most have failed. Some still cook just to survive.
Chefs, food truck pirates, outcasts, and caterers share the Commi Kitchen. They share the walk-in. But it's every cook for themselves.
Brand is a young chef trying to launch his catering business from the depths of this filthy, chaotic commissary kitchen—where everything is broken: ovens, rules, and people.
Joined by a crew of culinary mercenaries, he throws himself into the grind, hoping that constant motion will keep his buried grief at bay. But the more weddings and events Brand caters, the harder it becomes to ignore the emptiness he's been cooking through.
Commi Kitchen is a darkly comic, emotionally charged story about ambition, loss, and the messy, meaningful work of hospitality. Based on a true story from behind the scenes of the service industry.
