What do Black women do in kitchens? On labor day weekend almost a year shy of the one year-anniversary of the passing of their Grandmother, affectionately known as G , sisters Sissi and Tasha post up in G’s famed kitchen to reflect, challenge one another as they unpack each other's lives and their matriarchal traditions. G’s home/kitchen was always a sanctuary for Sissi, G’s protege who dreamed of becoming a chef yet it was always a place of contention for the brilliant and feisty researcher Tasha. As they prepare for a family cookout will Sissi’s discovery of G’s last recipe cause the sister’s relationship to simmer or boil over?
