Crime Scene Kitchen

Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Reality Competition, Food

Crime Scene Kitchen

Crime Scene Kitchen is a baking competition series with a unique twist.

Hosted by actor and comedian Joel McHale, Crime Scene Kitchen is a culinary guessing game in which bakers are tasked with decoding what type of dessert was made, when all that's left are the crumbs, flour trails and a few elusive clues.

They must then recreate the recipe for celebrity judges, chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp, who will determine how closely their sweet treat matches the missing dessert - and how good it tastes.

Can you walk into a kitchen and figure out what's been baked solely by the ingredients and clues left behind?

Each episode begins at the scene of the crime - a kitchen that was just used to make an amazing mouth-watering 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.

To take the $100,000 prize, the competing dessert makers will need to prove they have the technical know-how, imagination and problem-solving skills needed to decode and re-create incredible desserts and cakes from across the world.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives 40

Guy Fieri knows a thing or two about hearty, flavoursome food, and in this series he travels across America - and beyond - in search of the best "greasy spoon" eateries.

These diners, drive-ins and dives have been doing it right for decades, and these days they're booming again.

Run by a whole new generation of owners, these joints serve up delicious home-made food and Guy is hitting the road to check them out.

In the Season 40 premiere, "Fistful of Flavor": This trip, Guy's grabbing fistfuls of flavour.

First up, a San Luis Obispo spot in California is bringing next-level Mediterranean to the West Coast, dishin' out shawarma chicken pizza and a top-tier tri-tip pita.

Then in Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey, a bistro by the beach is slingin' cheffed-up eats like herbaceous octopus and the-bomb bone marrow burgers.

Meanwhile, an Argentine joint in Indianapolis is firing up authentic tastes with a twist with their chimichurri chorizo and primetime porchetta.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "From Breakfast to the Boot": This trip, Guy's going from the-bomb breakfast to a taste of Italy.

First, a brunch bonanza in Columbus, Ohio, is channeling Latin and Southern with their decadent dulce de leche pancake balls and a funkalicious fried chicken French toast sammy.

Then, a Boston joint is doing locally sourced, elevated eats, like rock star rum baba and an amped-up, pepperoni-piled-high pie.

Finally in San Luis Obispo, California, a lights-out Italian place is plating a punchy parmesan pasta in a righteous ragu and killer carbonara pizza.
