“The dark side of the kitchen doesn’t show up on Instagram.
It shows up in the obituaries.”
Why this matters
From the Fire pulls back the curtain on the hidden struggles of the culinary world.
Behind the plated perfection lies exhaustion, sacrifice, and stories that never make it to Instagram.
This is about truth, not glamour — and it’s time to talk about it.

About From The Fire
The dark side of the kitchen doesn’t make the feed. It makes the morgue.
We lose chefs every day, to burnout, to addiction, to the kind of pain you can’t plate pretty.
I’ve been there. More than once.
From the Fire isn’t a food show. It’s survival on camera. Three chefs. Three dishes. Three reasons they’re still here. Each one passes the torch to the next, until we all end up where healing starts: at the table.
You’ll hear the stories no PR agent will let them tell. You’ll see the scars they don’t show in press photos. You’ll feel the weight they’ve carried, and the moment they decided to fight back.
This is for the line cook who’s one shift away from walking out.
This is for the chef drowning in a bottle after service.
This is for anyone who has ever loved this industry enough to let it consume them.
Pull up a chair. Eat. Listen. Live.
