Eight outdoor cooks arrive at Camp Slatemore expecting an exclusive brand summit. Instead, they discover they have entered the Slatemore Showdown, a secret competition built around griddles, campfire pressure, shifting alliances, and eliminations decided by the people cooking beside them.
Jace is a movie-quoting home cook competing against trained chefs, seasoned creators, and contestants who appear far more prepared than he is. To survive, he must earn his ingredients, master unfamiliar challenges, catch and cook his own food, and learn from every competitor who flames out along the way.
As the field narrows, technical skill collides with instinct, strategy gives way to loyalty, and one unexpected second chance changes the entire competition. By the final feast, winning will require more than making the best plate. Jace must prove that he listened to the people around him—and that the meal people remember is not always the one plated most perfectly.
The Slatemore Showdown is a fast-paced culinary competition novella about outdoor cooking, rivalry, second chances, and the people who make a place at the table worth fighting for.
