The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution

Streaming video - 2019

Restaurant kitchens are a pressurized stew of brutal hours, high stress and sleep deprivation. Acting out goes with the territory and anyone lower in the hierarchy is fair game. But the familiar macho posturing of celebrity chefs has reached a tipping point. Now with an influx of women at the helm of restaurants, and a younger generation unwilling to submit to the brutal conditions once considered the norm, the rules of “kitchen culture” as we know it are being rewritten. Official Selection at **Doc NYC** and the **Hot Docs Film Festival**. "*Both awe-inspiring and mouth-watering, "The Heat" celebrates seven female chefs forging ahead in a male-dominated industry.*" - Kimber Myers, **Los Angeles Times**
