Our themes backstory is in the vibrant tapestry of New York City, "Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen" emergedas an ostensibly harmless assembly where diverse individuals, spanning various professions, converged to bond over culinary adventures.What started as a

lighthearted endeavor for camaraderie, with rotating head chefs from different backgrounds, gradually metamorphosed into a covert fight club, exploiting the city's competitive spirit. Concealed beneath the culinary camaraderie, selected participants underwent clandestine combat training, blurring the lines between cooking and brawling. As the group's original purpose clashed with its surreptitious evolution,

tensions brewed, friendships fractured, and the struggle for the group's soul commenced—a battle between unity and a sinister transformation lurking amidst simmering pots and flying fists on the gritty streets of the city that never sleeps.
