    Summary

    When the newest season of Known Unknown, the Food Network's attempt at highlighting small-towns' culinary excellence, rolls into Edgewater, Indiana hoping to bounce back from last season where their ratings weren't so hot, every joint around town puts their name in to compete.

    In the end, they hope to narrow it down to two restaurants that will battle it out in an intense-multi-week battle where the winner will receive fifty-thousand dollars to put toward their business.

    Nobody is surprised when Greene's Kitchen and Unruly Hearts' Bar & Grill are the two who wind up in those featured spots. They've got talented chefs and management, are both advocates of farm-to-table, but there's a lot more to these restaurants-- and restauranteurs-- than what meets the eye.

    But their staffs, and the camera, don't need to know that, right? All that matters is who comes out on top.

    (Or, the one where they work at and own rival restaurants; the one where their personal lives maybe won't stay so personal.)

    Summary

    Seeing everything in monochrome-- however much she’s come to appreciate the nuances-- has made Janis long to meet her soulmate in a way that she swore she never would when she was younger. She knows that life is easier because it’s built this way-- there’s no need for heartbreak, since one kiss is all it takes to know what is temporary and what is forever-- but still, some days, it’s difficult to walk down the street and feel as though it’s stained with the color of simultaneous melancholy and calm.

    It may seem selfish, but Janis can’t help but long for a fuller existence, one where she can understand her father’s affinity for the changing of leaves in autumn, specifically when they turn scarlet.

    She doesn’t want calm. She wants brilliant, wants her heart to race when she sees the world, wants to know what it is to shatter colors across a canvas and know what they are.

    (Or, the one where Rejanis are soulmates, and they can only see the world in a monochrome of the other's eye color until they kiss for the first time, except there's twist.)
