Crime Scene Kitchen

Each episode of this cooking competition that is hosted by Joel McHale begins at the scene of the crime -- a kitchen that was just used to make an amazing, mouthwatering dessert that has since disappeared. The chef teams of two are challenged to scour the kitchen for clues and ingredients to figure out what was baked. Next, each team must duplicate the recipe based on their guess for celebrity judges chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp.
