It would appear that your kitchen sink is the last drain in place, I would suggest that you snake the mainline, either through the clean out if you have one or down the toilet. Since this sounds like a severe clog, you may want to rent a powered snake and perhaps remove the toilet and snake that way.
Good luck.

sounds like you have the main sewer line blocked, the food from the kitchen sink is finding it's way to the shower. You should have a clean out in the main sewer line to run a "snake" through to break it up. A slower method would be to pour Drano down all you drains and wait.

You have a clog as everyone has stated. your can try to snake it by yourself or call a plumber. Remember this is going to cost you. There is a possibility of that being alittle bit of sewage rather than just food, and I don't care what your line of work is when there is **** involved you want to get paid good for dealing with it if it especially if it is not your own ****. Also check to see if your plumber even deals with this type of thing. We sub contract alot of different type of plumbers and not all clean existing systems. Some only stick with new construction.

You have a problem down the line in your drain. You see it in the toilet and the shower because those drains are lower in height than your sink.
Call a plumber, that's what I had to do! He had to dig some roots out of our pipes way down the line.

your sink is backing up in to your shower you have a clog between the sink and the sewer you can rent sewer snakes and run them down the drain to bust up the clogs if you are on a septic tank and it has not been pumped out it might be full

All the pipes lead to the same place. You need to have a plumber come out as soon as possible. It could be worse, we used to have a septic tank at my old house and it got full. We had sewage coming up from ALL drains the house smelt awful and we had to stay at a hotel for a few nights while it aired out. Be thank full it is just food!

All of the drains ultimately lead to one place. Seems that your sink drain is backing into the shower drains.

Calm Down and Call a Plumber to unclogg your drains because they are all stopped up and need to be cleaned out.

If it's pieces of corn, do not go near it! That is what plumbers are paid for!
Or, if you have a septic tank, you need to have it emptied, after it is emptied, pour in a small jar of active yeast... that helps regurgitate anything new.
