– She’s pink! – I don’t wanna eat that. – Pull it together, cadet. – Hey, hey. – The verdict is sentenced to death. (Angela belching) – No! – [Narrator] The following crimes are culinary. Viewer discretion advised. – Recipe vandals are roaming the internet, defacing what experts have placed before them. Is there not a reason that recipes exist? Yes, there is. To follow them like the good citizens we are. – Wow. – Not! – Oh! (laughs) – [Amanda] Oh my God. – Taking what was once placed before them

By the experts at hand, And committing vandalism on the art that is the culinary kind. This is “Culinary Crimes”. I have brought my two friends to my office today, because they have valuable intel. – That’s true. – This one’s Italian, this one loves Italy. – Yes, I love Italy. – We have three cases to discuss today, each a recipe that has been just diddled with crime! (Angela laughs) – [Amanda] What? (laughs)

– And we will find justice today. It will be served on a plate. It smells like rain. Angela, – Sorry. – Check the umbrella. – What? – [Amanda] Oh. – Are you (beep) kidding? – This is so fun, this is so fun. – Like hold it? Like take it out? Open it? Oh, my God. Oh, my (beep)! Oh, my (beep)! – Let’s open up the evidence.

– It’s a jolly day. – Whoa, man. It’s been pouring. – The only thing that’s gonna be raining in here is justice. – Who hurt you? – A lot of people hurt her. She’s been on the streets for a while. – Our three cases reside in this envelope.

We will investigate each of these cases, tasting the crime scenes as they were made by these vandals, then we will be given the verdict, and then we’ll try the real thing. And then we’re going to decide what these people deserve as their punishment. – Life! – Just life? – Sorry. Yeah, just life.

– Life is punishment in a way. – Life behind bars, or living it. – Onto the first case. – Ooh, yes. Yes. – Handle that. – Yes, ma’am. – No, no. Don’t touch this. – Don’t touch it. – Just put it away. – The detective said, don’t touch it. – Ah. (glass breaking) – The victim. Italian meatballs. – [Amanda] Oh, no. – The ingredients. – Oh my God.

– Diced white sandwich bread, onion, ground beef, ground pork, egg, fresh parsley, garlic, cloves, parmesano reggiano, salt, black pepper. For the sauce, olive oil, garlic cloves, onion, tomato passata or tomato puree, water, red pepper flakes, dried Italian herb mix, salt, black pepper. The incident, on September 23rd (typewriter typing)

At eight in the morning. – Ooh. – Wow. – “Hi. I can’t eat spicy foods. So I changed the chili flakes to blank, blank, blank. An ingredient I always have in the fridge. I also added a small tin of crushed blank. Yum.” This suspect is on trial for two counts of culinary crimes.

– Oh, they don’t like spicy food. What do you always have in the fridge? – Let’s taste and find out. – [Angela] Okay. – (gasps) What do you smell, Angela? – This looks different. The sauce looks very chunky, but that might be how it’s supposed to be. – Oh my God. – Oh, I think- – I think I know. – I think I know too. – You think it’s, I think it’s, I don’t wanna know.

– Actually I need to know. – We should try first. – Let’s try first. – Here we go down the hatch. – Let’s go. – Okay. – A crime. – Mm. Mm. – Mm. Mm. – I taste sweet, very sweet. – Yeah. Which is kind of normal for tomato sauce,

But that’s really sugary. Oh my God. The more you let it sit it’s- – Your Honor. I know what this is. – Oh no. – Okay. I taste sweetness and like a soft kind of dryness. – I taste really sugary. – Yeah. – And sweet. And it’s like the kind of zest

That doesn’t belong in this cuisine. – Yeah. – I Agree. – There you go. The meatball itself, standalone it’s great. – Yeah, it’s good. – It’s what it’s wearing. – It’s what it’s wearing. – It’s what it’s wearing. It’s the dress. – The the meatball is solid.

It’s literally the sauce that compliments it so poorly that it gets worse as you experience it. This is gonna be, this is, dare I say cursed. – [Amanda] This is nasty. – Is this like salsa? – That’s what I was thinking, because something in your fridge.

– Yeah in a tin. – In a- – No, but there’s a tin of crushed blank. That’s the second one. – Tin of crushed something. – Okay. – This is salsa. – Let’s try this. – What’s in a tin? – This isn’t helping much. Ugh! Okay.

– What’d you do? – What what what what? – You gotta try the sauce by itself. – Okay. – I won’t ’cause I won’t eat salsa without a chip. – The salsa is extremely sweet if that’s salsa. – Like what if they did ketchup or something? But for the tin of crush, I’m still on the first thing. I think it’s like mild taco salsa I think it’s like mild taco salsa or something. – Yeah. – Yeah.

– Like, you know, like the picante, like- – Yep. – The salsa picante. – A small… So that’s what’s always in the fridge. – Yeah. – I also added a small tin of crushed what? (dramatic thump) – It’s really like concerning. Every time I taste the sauce, I’m alarmed. This is code red.

– Yeah. What do people who think chili flakes is spicy? What would be something that’s not. – I don’t know. Sinners. – I also added a small tin of crushed what? – Mild chunky salsa. – Oh! (Angela screams) – We got him. – Don’t do that. – Hearsay. – Mild. – Wait, I don’t think- – That’s not hearsay. – Hearsay works here. Yeah. – You have a hunch. – I Have hunch. – Mild, chunky salsa. – That’s so messed up. – So then what is it?

Okay wait, we’re so (beep) close. – Tin of crushed cinnamon – Mild chunky salsa. – No. – Yeah, I was thinking cinnamon. But cinnamon would add a little bit of a spice. – Even more so. Yeah. – That’s not that. I taste something like lavendery like- – Yeah. It like a florally sweet.

– It’s floral. (gasps) It’s floral. It’s like lavender. – Okay, let’s go through like what are in tins? – Fish. – Anchovies are tins? – No. – I’m just saying what could be possible. – Wait a tin. Sugar. – Sugar isn’t in a tin. – It’s not crushed. – But crushed.

It’s not crushed. – I swear to God if it’s crushed anchovies, I’m gonna cry. – No one has that. – Maybe. – [Angela] We would taste that. We Would taste that. – Maybe they had crushed red pepper. – Yams. – That’s what I thought yams. – [Amanda] Crushed yams.

– Yams are very sweet. But I don’t see ’em in there. – Crushed. I don’t see ’em in there either, guys. I don’t know about this. – Maybe carrots are crushed. – Oh wait, but I don’t see anything orange in there. – Well, let’s get in there. – This guy. Who is that, who is that? – Whoa, whoa, whoa. – Wait, wait, wait, wait. – Whoa. – Who is that? – [Amanda] You guys that’s garlic or yams. – That’s garlic. That’s garlic.

– Is that garlic? It’s a big crush? – That’s orange. – That’s garlic. – It’s literally orange. – [Courtney] Are you sure? – That’s my boyfriend. That’s garlic. – I knew you were dating somebody. – Garlic. – But that orange right here. – Garlic is my boyfriend. – Wait, I’m gonna have a chunk of this. – Forensics- – Oh my God. Peach? – [Courtney] Forensics- – Peaches?

– [Amanda] Who does that, who does that, who does that? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. – Wait, eat the little, eat these. – What, what, what, what? – There’s a fruit. – This? This? – I’m scared. I’m scared. – Okay. – That’s like a peach with salsa on top of it.

– Try that right here. – Oh my god. – No! – Pineapple, pineapple. – Pineapple. – Pineapple. – No! – We (beep) locked them up. – This is a (beep) murderer. Sentenced to death. – How did we just get that? – Oh. – Dude, this should be, the verdict is sentenced to death.

– We need to lock in our answers. And then before we can assume any sentencing for this person, we will then get the verdict. But, well, what are we thinking? Okay, so- – [Angela] We got it. – So, I say pineapple, but is it? – Okay. It is, it is.

It’s either pineapple or peaches. I think it’s pineapple. – I’m a pineapple bitch. I put pineapple on my pizza. – And you tasted it. – Do you think it’s pineapple? – I think it’s pineapple. – I think it’s pineapple. – Okay. So the- – That’s legit a pineapple covered in salsa.

– So the evidence is mild chunky salsa with a tin of pineapple. – Crushed pineapple. – Are they from London? They said tin. Don’t people from London say tin. I know what’s going on here. – Okay, I’m putting mine to- – English crime. – Mine’s pineapple and mild taco sauce. – Mine’s mild chunkly chunky salsa. – Chunkly? – Mine’s mild chunky salsa. – Alright, let’s get the verdict. The verdict is, “Hi, I can’t eat spicy foods. So I changed the chili flakes to sweet chili sauce.” – What? – “An ingredient I always have in the fridge.” – Why? – “I also added a small tin of crushed pineapple, yum.” – Yes. – This is even worse.

– Wait, I have a question. Who the (beep) has sweet chili sauce always in their fridge? – People who like sweet chili sauce. – Wait, and we thought it was salsa because it was chunky. But that was just the pineapple guys. – Yeah. And it was the crushed tomato and the pineapple.

Okay. When I realized that it was pineapple, my stomach turned, like that is ’cause as I said, I love pineapple on a pizza with some jalapeno and green bell pepper. So I get it, you know? – Yeah. – Pizza’s Italian, pineapple. – Sure. – This was too far.

– This was very upsetting. I would say this was a felony. – I’d say this is a felony as well. – I wanna try the real thing. – [Angela] Yeah. – It’s time. All right. Bring out the real thing. Alright. – [Amanda] Look at that. Gorgeous. – [Angela] Gorgeous. Look at the color.

– [Amanda] No chunk. – [Courtney] No Chunk. – (speaks Italian) Let’s do it. (Amanda speaks Italian) – Wow. See, this is a dark. Oh my God. Eating a meatball at work at 10:00 AM. Color me grateful. – Whoa. Totally different. Not chunky, spicy. – It’s crazy.

– And not just spicy, but not sweet. It’s not sweet. – This vandal clearly has a signature on their recipes, – This vandal clearly has a signature on their recipes, which is, they fricking stand sweet chili sauce and sweet flavor profiles. – Yeah. That’s exactly what the criminal is.

– So they thought that this was delicious because that’s what they love. A little more of what they love and into something new. But that is a twisted tongue you got. – They’re sick. They’re genuinely sick. – I’ll tell you what’s twisted about this person.

Like sure, the sweet chili sauce was like a substitute. It feels like the pineapple was just for fun. – [Amanda] Oh, yeah. – ‘Cause what are you substituting with the pineapple? – Yeah. That’s their signature. – It was just like, and also I’ll throw in some pineapple.

Like it was like a sundae where it’s like, oh, there’s some peaches on top of the ice cream. – I get it like, pork and pineapple could be really good. But when it’s the flavor profile of Italian sauce, – Absolutely not. – No, no, no, no. – It’s criminal.

– Okay. This is a felony. – They left their mark on their victim. – It was like the outfit called for so many things. And then right before they left, they added a hat. – Ugh. – You know what I mean? You don’t need a pineapple.

– And they were like, thanks it’s a fascinator. What do you think this person deserves as their sentencing? – Oh, punishable by death. Thrown into the ocean. – Thrown into the ocean. – That’s what we do in legal system. We throw ’em into the ocean. – I think we should strip ’em naked, have ’em walk through the town and then throw ’em in the ocean. (Courtney laughs) – What? Who said that?

– What do you think? – Oh, I think lock ’em up with a can of pineapples. – Okay. That sounds nice. – That sounds like their heaven. – Yeah. What- – Here’s what we’ll do. We’ll throw ’em into the ocean. – [Amanda] Thank you. – Where there will be,

One life raft with one single can of crushed pineapples one life raft with one single can of crushed pineapples to remind them of the mistake that they made. – Wow. – Or have the sharks come get them. – Okay. – What? Fine. We’re fine. – Maybe they’ll think the sauce is blood.

– (gasps) That’s so true. – All right. Case dismissed. (typewriter dinging) Our next case. The best lasagna. – This is crazy. This is crazy. – Oh no. – This is crazy. – For the meat sauce, olive oil, onion, carrot, garlic, cloves, ground beef, ground pork, passata, tomato puree, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef or vegetable bouillon cubes, dried oregano and basil,

Sugar, salt and pepper. For the bechamel sauce, butter, all purpose flour, milk, shredded parmesan. For lasagna, lasagna sheets, shredded mozzarella cheese, and fresh parsley. I have heard from the press that this crime scene is messy. (typewriter clicking) In April 3rd, 2020. – Ooh. – At 8:42 AM. Five stars.

Great recipe, I substituted the mince for blank cut one centimeter thick. Instead of using lasagna sheets, I used some blank. Took away the canned tomatoes and instead used fresh blank, mixed blank, blank and thinly sliced blank. Also, instead of passata, I used blank and blank.

Other than that, I followed the recipe to the T. Best blank I’ve had in a long time. Thank you. A witness also commented. LOL, ummm. – What? – Oh this is gonna be so (beep) up. – This is bad. This is really bad.

– This is a serial recipe vandal that we have on our hands. – [Amanda] They’ve done this before. – I’m scared. Are you okay? Are you okay? – No, I’m fine. I’m fine. Pull it together, cadet. – Hey. Hey. I’ve been in this apartment before and I ate the most disgusting baked ziti

I’ve ever seen in my life. I could do this. – Well, this is my first time. – Okay. (laughs) – That’s all. – Bring in the evidence. – Oh shit. – Oh my God. – [All] Oh! – [Amanda] She’s pink. – Oh, – She’s pink. Are you okay? – Oh my God. – [Amanda] Are you okay? – This looks like a jacket. – Why is everything a fashion item? – This looks like a throw blanket. – Pull yourself together. We’re once again investigating eight counts of culinary crimes, folks. This smells different. – She’s literally pink. She looks like blueberry cobbler. – This looks like a lasagna you’d get at Limited Too. Ah, ah. Okay guys, we have to investigate. – Oh, no, it’s gonna be disgusting. – Just wanna say, I tried to cut a little bit and it tore like old skin. – Oh no.

– Get your bite. – Okay. – Copy. – Guys. I gotta say, the only thing that I can think of that’s really red is beets. – Okay. – Well, I’m gonna beat the shit out of this. – Is that a strawberry? Is that a passion fruit? I don’t know. – Girls hurry the F up. – No, I legit. I am disgusted to my core. Oh my God. – Be strong. Cadet. – Oh my God. – Okay bite. – Okay, tiniest bite.

– Okay bite. – You didn’t even have pink in there. There’s no pink there. – Sorry, Hey, Hey. Meet me where I’m at. You know what I mean? – [Amanda] I can’t. – Some of us are not strong. Here we go. – It’s time. – Okay. – Oh my God. Yikey yikes.

That’s something is sweet where it doesn’t belong or sweet and earthy. I think it’s beets. – It must be the color. – Beets. And I think- – Yeah, look at that that’s a beet, guys. – Do you guys feel like there’s just like literally

Like a slice of Wonder Bread, bread in this thing? – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s what that was. – [Angela] What? – Wait, they said one centimeter thick. – Look. Look, look. – [Amanda] Look at the fibers. Look at the fibers. – [Angela] No!

It’s either that or Pita. – [Courtney] It’s Wonder bread. – [Angela] Or crackers. – Guys, it’s Wonder Bread. I think you’re exactly (beep) right. This person, – It’s Bread. – Still lives at home with their mom. – Could I see the recipe? I’m bouncing with ideas here. – Okay. – [Amanda] Alright. – So I think the cut thing is the Wonder Bread. – I think we have a thin slice, a thinly sliced piece of like Provolone or Swiss in here. – But also Wonder Bread. – Also, what’s the green? The green’s gotta be- – Spinach? Spinach, spinach. – Okay. See I’m seeing-

– For reference mince means the ground beef basically. – Got it. Got another UK serial killer. – I think instead of Motz… Hold on, I’m gonna. – Wait guys, look at that. Is that mushroom? No. – I tasted beef. I tasted beef. I tasted beef. – I’m gonna put spinach down

Because this green is very dark. It’s a dark leafy green. Let’s see. – Okay. Instead of the Mozzarella, I think it’s Provolone or Swiss. – Whoa. – No, dude, why do- – I think it’s a like a sandwich slice of cheese in that thing. – That’s, it’s some, oh no.

– Wait a second. What’s the lasagna? They said they replaced the lasagna sheets. – That’s what we’re thinking with the bread. – The bread. – Oh my (beep) God. – That’s beets. A hundred percent. Honestly, we’re killing this. – You guys wrote down spinach, right?

– Oh, okay. So I don’t know if it’s spinach ’cause I just had a fight with it in my mouth. – Oh, collard greens, kale? – It’s got a little Rigotta or something. – Ricotta? – Where are you from? – Okay. In my house we don’t call it ricotta. We call it Rigotta.

– I’m seeing a carrot. – That’s normal. – That’s normal. – I’m tasting this. I think it’s beef. – Oh. – Wait, it’s not beef. Huh? – That was a hardy. I think it’s steak. – Oh. – I think it’s steak. – I think it’s steak. – I think it’s steak.

– So, guys, help me figure out the green, because now I don’t think it’s spinach. Now I think it’s collard green. – All right, so first up I substituted the mince, which is the meat. The ground meat. – Yeah. – For blank, – Steak. – But it’s for.

– I think it’s chopped up steak. – Chopped up. – Bit chopped up steak. – Bit of chopped up stick. – Bit little steak chopped up. – Like Carne Asada? – Diced Carne Asada? Yeah? – Or is it like pot roast? – It didn’t taste.

Ooh, that’s good too. I mean, you could say pot roast. – It does- – Pot roast, but that doesn’t fit those- – The fiber is really… Try for Yourself, get a little meat cube. – I’m not good at figuring out my meats. – I definitely think it’s like a roast.

Like a rump roast. – Yeah. – Roast beef is very red. (clock ticking) – It’s giving roast beef. – What if it’s cut up, – No. – Like chopped up tri tip? – No. – Tri tip? – Tri tip. – Chopped up- – That’s look like tri tip.

– Cut one centimeter thick, guys. – Instead of using lasagna sheets, I used Wonder Bread, white bread. – Wonder Bread white bread ’cause I’m a little old dumby. Okay. – Took away the canned tomatoes and instead used fresh. – Fresh. And it’s a bunch, fresh blank, mixed blank. So fresh beets, mixed greens. – With the green. Yes. Detective. – Mixed greens. – Mixed greens. – Or collard greens. – And then another item. Tomatoes.

Do you guys taste tomato at all in here? – Not really. So it’s beets, greens, and then there’s something else, guys. – I think it’s tomato, mixed greens and- – Carrots. – And beets. – Oh, is carrot right? – I am not a beets girly.

– I’m a beets girly. – I love beets. – You ever have so much beets your pee’s pink? – Oh, all the time. Every time I have a beet. – And then thinly sliced. 1, 2, 3. – Yeah, I’m gonna say either Swiss or, – Yeah, I’m not really good with cheese,

So I’ll go with what you guys think. – Oh, Oh, okay. So it’s like some Swiss cheese. Yeah, ’cause this- – Like this piece up here, this is it. – At the top piece. Yeah, – This is it. – Thinly sliced Swiss cheese. Yeah. – Guys, we gotta figure out what the other,

Alright, look at this. Look at this open area. – New area just opened. – New area just opened. – I think it’s either Provolone or Swiss. – Okay. So yeah- – Being detective is hard. – Carrots. – Yeah, I think we got it. – No, but we are missing. – And thinly sliced blank. – Thinly sliced.

Oh, thinly sliced is gonna be hard to find guys. – Is that the Swiss cheese that you’re thinking? – Yeah. – Like a hard – I think there’s Swiss. – Or sharp cheddar cheese. – Yeah. No, I don’t see cheddar. – Okay. Okay. – Or like an aged white cheddar.

– And then- – Well look at this. Look at that. – [Courtney] Okay, we got a cheese pull. – [Amanda] Look at that. – [Courtney] So there is real cheese in here. That’s good. – Oh, I’m tasting cheese. I just dunno what kind. – Yeah, but thing says, instead of passata I used.

And so instead of tomato puree, they used something different. One thing we have seen on this show before was a case where the suspect was commenting on the wrong recipe. I don’t know if that’s what this is. – Commenting on the wrong recipe. – Where they literally were talking about cookies

On a baked meat recipe. – Yes. It was weird. – And we had to try cookie baked ziti and it was (beep) up. – I think there’s chocolate. – It’s blue. Is it M&Ms? – I think there’s chocolate. – Cookies. Oh my god, I’m So- – Oh my God it is chocolate.

– I think you killed it with the steak. I think there’s some weird other cheeses in there that aren’t Parmesan. – Yeah. – And maybe, mozzarella’s in there, but maybe it’s a thinly sliced piece of mozzarella instead of shredded. – Okay, so we have almost all of them figured out.

Almost all of them, we have guessed. There’s tri tip or steak of some kind. – Correct. – Carrots, beets. Well, the carrots are normal. Beets and mixed greens. – Yep. – We’re thinking of some white bread. – Yep. – Sliced really thin. – I said collared greens. – You said collared greens.

You did. That’s all new thing. Yeah. – Yeah. – And Swiss cheese potentially. – And something’s orange. Guys, don’t sleep on the orange. What is it? – I think the orange is the tomato and the cheese altogether. Plus carrots. Plus beets. – No.

– ‘Cause then the suspect said best blank I’ve ever had. So he’s like retitling this. – Oh. – It could be like best like enchilada I’ve ever had. – I’m almost willing to call this a mistrial because I have no idea what’s going on here. – Yep. – I think the only way

To really understand. – Yep. – We have our guesses. Let’s see the verdict. (typewriter dinging) I feel good about our assumptions. – Me too. – Me too. – Okay. – I think we did a really good job. – The verdict is as follows. Great recipe. I substituted the mince for dry aged rib eye. – [Amanda] Okay. – Cut one centimeter thick, which is steak.

It is a- – Dry aged rib eye. Perfect team. – Instead of using lasagna sheets, I used some garlic butter toasted Turkish bread. – Yum. Turkish bread is delicious. – No, in lasagna? – You’re right. – So there was garlic on it. It was garlic bread. – Garlic. – Ah, we overthought it. Okay. Took away the canned tomatoes and instead used fresh tomato, mixed leaves, beet root and thinly sliced red onion rings.

– Red onion rings. – Onion rings. – Oh, it gets worse. – Oh no. – Instead of passata, I used barbecue sauce and Aioli. – [Amanda] No. – Other than that, I follow the recipe to the T. Best steak sandwich I’ve had in a long time. – Steak sandwich? – LOL, Ummm.

Yeah, now I get that. ‘Cause ha ha ha umm. Go away. – I cannot believe there’s barbecue sauce in this. – Okay. – This was disgusting. – Hey. Just adding on to the steak. – Guys. Guys, I Convict. Can we convict? – You’re defiling the court. Please. – I don’t care. – Let’s try the real thing. The best lasagna as it’s meant to be. – My heart is full. I was very scared and alone.

– My instinct was to pick it up and stick my face. – Is that what you do at home? – Do you just… Were you about to grab it with your hands? – Woo-hoo. – [Amanda] No pink. – All right. – Look at that. Look at how gorgeous that is. – [Amanda] Look at the layers. – I Thought I was gonna be the weird one today. – Nope. Oh wow. – You could have given us half of the size.

– This is huge. – Oh wow. – It’s beautiful. – Good night. – It’s cohesive. – I’m going to bed. – I can’t believe in my stomach right now, next to this lasagna is barbecue sauce, beets and bread. – This is so good. It’s soft.

It’s spicy. I felt like the room just calmed down. Did you guys feel that? – They mentioned mince as referring to the ground beef and ground pork. I wonder since clearly they’re maybe from the UK, if you think they think lasagna means something else. But like, wait, but lasagna is from Italy.

Like a neighbor. – Yeah exactly. – And it’s crazy to think about lasagna as kind of like a cousin to a sandwich. – It really is. It’s really almost sandwich. It’s a meatball sub, but squished. – Yeah. – I Feel like we can’t go too harsh on them

Because I feel like they really just got- – Confused. – Confused. – It feels like they just cooked something else. At some point these aren’t substitutions. This is a different dish. – Would you say this is a mistrial or a misdemeanor? – Oh, a misdemeanor feels small.

– I’d say it was a mistrial. It felt wrong. – I mean, it’s negligence one way or another. They weren’t clearly checking the recipe for what they’re supposed to be doing. I don’t understand how this happened. – I feel like it was a hung jury. – But you know what?

I’m happy because it brought me to this. – In 2020. I don’t know where these people were at the time, but groceries were hard to come by in some places. – That’s so true. – [Amanda] Oh, wow. – But they were still on the internet on a webpage labeled one thing.

– And they rated it five stars. – Rated it five stars. That knocks down the sentencing for me. It makes it not as bad. – Me too. – But here the thing. – It was a crime of passion. – This is not a steak sandwich either. – No. – That wasn’t

A steak sandwich either. – Not a steak sandwich either. – So definitely he gets a charge for me, a misdemeanor. And – It’s negligence. – No, no ocean for him. He can be on land, but, I don’t know why. I think it’s a he. It could be a she,

Could be a them. It could be anybody. But it’s not a steak sandwich. – I think the punishment should be that we give them a steak sandwich, but it looks like a lasagna. – Oh. – [Amanda] Oh. – And just make them feel as confused as we have

For the past, however long we’ve been guessing this situation. – Yeah. And they have to eat it outside. – Have to eat it outside. No shade. – Oh wow. – No shade. – There are no utensils. – They’re in England. They’re gonna be fine. – Okay. (laughs)

– This is so good. The original recipe. – I know. – What a mess. – What a mess. – Onto the final case. Amanda, bring out the final case. – Oh my God. That was really hard. I had to reach so far in my chair. – The final case. (Courtney deep breathing) – What’s happening? – The crime scene is New York Cheesecake. – No, this is a city classic. – Why did you do this? Okay. – Oh my God.

– All right, it’s too soon. Okay. Let’s see. Let’s see. – My digestive system’s already failing. – Steak sandwich. – We cannot fail justice. – You’re right. You’re right. Thank you. – The ingredients. For the crust, graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, salt. For the cheesecake, cream cheese, goat cheese,

Lemon juice, vanilla extract, kosher salt, orange flower water, toasted sugar, eggs, heavy cream. – Toasted sugar. – Sounds extravagant. – Toasted sugar? – And I want it. I love cheesecake. Cheesecake is my favorite kind of cake. – Really? – It is? – Yeah. The incident. On February 11th, 2020 (typewriter clicking)

At 11:08 AM. – Right before Valentine’s Day. – Right before. Maybe they were getting ready. One star, Eww, would not recommend. (Amanda laughs) Made this for my grandson with blank. Since that’s his favorite. And it did not taste good at all. Even blank, which he calls sea nuts, could not save this recipe.

Next time, I would recommend providing a list of flavors of blank that work with the recipe. Oh, it has two thumbs down. This suspect is on trial for two culinary crimes. – I’ve seen worse. – You have? – She’s been in these streets. All right. Bring out the evidence. – Oh. – Oh No. – Oh. – Wait, it looks just like- – Do you know what those are? – No. No. – Caper bush. Are those capers? – They’re sea beans. – They’re not sea beans, don’t say that. – They’re sea beans. – Are those capers? – These are capers.

– That is disgusting. – That was rude to put that on there. – Guys, this is not a piece of fish. It’s New York cheese cake. – There’s some discoloration in the cheese. – Do you see? – [Amanda] What the hell is that? Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. – See that shit?

You see that shit? – What the (beep) is this? – It’s salmon. – This is a grandma and her grandson. – I’m scared as shit. I’m scared shitted. – I don’t like it. – [All] 3, 2, 1. – Huh? She’s in disguise. – Oh no. Something’s wrong here, and it’s salmon. It smoked salmon and capers. – The texture is so off. There’s like random pieces of suspicion. – I would know if this- (Courtney laughing) – You gotta keep your cool. We got capers on the table. – I can’t keep my cool. Me and fish and sweets yogurty stuff, not friends. – You added fish. I don’t taste fish. – Okay. – You don’t taste fish?

– Look at this. Okay, you have a lot of fish notes. – You don’t taste fish? – You see that? Do you see that? Do you see that? We need to taste. You need that- – That could be like raspberries or some shit. – Forensic style. – You’re out of your mind.

– Get in there. You need to try. – Guys, – Don’t don’t elbow me. – I’m gonna turn the body on its side. – I need all the space I can get. – Orange. It looks orange. – Yeah, because it’s literally fish.

– I don’t think it’s fish. – It’s if it was fish, I’d cry, I’d be literally in tears. – I think it’s fish. I think it’s fish. – I fricking know. – It’s literally fish. – I don’t wanna eat that. – Okay, here’s the thing. – Who cuts their cheesecake like that? – Oh, I’m the weird one here? – This is not a Corvette. – I’m the (beep) weird. – If this is a fish- – Let me show you the fishiness that is-

– You need to eat that right there. – This cheesecake. – I’m literally not. (Courtney laughs) – Here we go. Check it out. Look at that. – You have to eat it. You have to eat it. – No, no, no, no. – You have to eat it. – See that?

– [Angela] Oh my god. – That is fish. – Oh my god. My mouth is upset. – You see that? – Wait. – That’s salmon roll. – Detectives. Detectives. – [Amanda] Yeah. – Oh my God. Okay, so it’s called New York Cheesecake. Does this (beep) person think it’s New York Bagel?

– I think because you know, bagels and lemons or I mean, capers and lemons are always on this, like a salmon and Lox Bagel. – And salmon. – With cream cheese. With cream cheese. This has cream cheese. – Made this with my grandson.

– This is Lox and capers. I’m sick to my stomach. – So you’re onto something. – What? – The kid loves- – New York. – New York. Cream cheese. – Yeah. – Bagels and Lox. Couldn’t the sea nuts. – Wait, are you guys trying to figure out what she thinks this is called?

– No, I think she thinks New York Cheese- – Cake. – Yeah. – Meant. – New York Bagel. – What? – With Lox, Capers. This is disgusting. – This is called a New York- – Bagel. She thinks it’s a bagel with cream cheese.

– But how do you get cheesecake and bagel mixed up? – So the first blank is salmon. And then even with blank, which he calls sea nuts is the capers, so I think, they’re salmon and capers. – Wait, but there’s three spots. So I think it is-

– Like salmon filet or- – Lox smoked lox salmon. – Ooh. – Smoked or- – That’s such a short word. – Do you think that there’s like a salmon? Like a cream cheese that comes with salmon in it? – Yes, yes, yes. – What?

– There’s a cream cheese with like Lox shit in it. – Really? – Yes. It’s like white with pink shit. – No way. – That’s okay. That’s what it would look like if you mix cream cheese with salmon. Where are we? Are we in an apartment with investigators?

Is the rookie gonna be on top? (Courtney laughs) – Oh don’t you dare. I have cheese- – Order order. – In my stomach. – All I know is there’s a cream cheese bagel with lox and capers on it. – Yep. – And this is the same type.

So we’re thinking like fish, fish, fish. Right? Like she’s talking fish. – Like salmon cream cheese. Like fish cream cheese. – Lox cream cheese – Lox cream cheese. – Sure. – Since it’s his favorite and it did not taste good at all. Because he loves Lox cream cheese on his bagel.

Even Capers, which he calls sea nuts. – He needs help if he’s calling those sea nuts. – Next time I would recommend providing a list of cream cheeses. – Lox. – No, the second one I think is cream cheese. – Okay guys, – I’ve nailed it. I (beep) got it.

– You’re right, you’re right. – We are not 12 angry men. We are three annoyed women. – Who are powerful. – I’d see that play. – Lox, cream cheese, capers, cream cheese. – It’s time for the verdict. We are locked in. – We are lox in. (typewriter dinging) Oh my God. Oh my God. You’ve had too many cases on your plate. – It’s just this one is personal to me. – Oh. – This one’s personal. – Yeah. We need to get a vacation going for you. – New York Cheesecake crime scene, revealed. Ew, Would (laughs) sorry. Ew, would not recommend. Made this for my grandson with lox cream cheese. High five above me. (dramatic music) – Ow. – Since it’s his favorite and it did not taste good at all. Even capers, which he calls sea nuts, we didn’t need to know that, – Yeah. – Could not save this recipe.

Next time, I would recommend providing a list of flavors of cream cheese that work with the recipe. – Perfect score. – Perfect score. – Guys, we did it. We were cooking. – Rookie of the year to these two. – Oh yeah, sure. You too, I guess. – Okay. This is crazy – And disgusting. – What? Okay. This is infuriating for many reasons for me. Okay? One star on a recipe that is coming correct. – Yeah. – If I may say so. – Yeah. Yeah.

– And to blame the recipe on your mistake of using cream cheese with (beep) fish in it. – [Amanda] Yeah. Nasty. – Sorry. Pardon my French. Capers wouldn’t save this in a million years. – No. And her son needs to stop calling things sea nuts. – Grandma put the sea nuts on it.

– [Amanda] Yeah. – It’ll be better. – Wanna taste some justice? – Yeah. – Yeah. – Let’s bring out the real thing. – New York Cheesecake as always meant to be. – Oh, look at the fruit. – I’m literally gonna inhale this. – I feel so much better, girls.

– Girls, this is us. Girls, I love our day. – This is like an episode of Sex and the City. We used our brains and we figured it out. This does taste like justice ’cause we like figured it out. – Yeah, we did. – Yeah, we fingured it out. – We taste, okay. We’re tasting justice, but we’re also tasting victory.

– Oh. – But what hurts the most is that someone tarnished this recipe based on their own stupidity. This was a personal case for me. I almost had to abandon the case and leave you two to handle it yourselves because it was too close and too emotional for me.

– Same. Same with me and the balls. – So I guess I would’ve been alone with the balls. – This is messed up. And also blaming the recipe. Giving it one star makes it worse to me. – I agree. – So I think a serious punishment must go down,

Though, I’m curious about like a salmon and lox situation. It was intriguing. But you know when you see like a murderer do a cool trick, you’re not like, alright. – [Angela] Yeah. – So this is punishable by death. – Marcus, power up the electric chair. – Power up the electric chair

And let’s put some trout on top of it. – That’s the punishment. We’re gonna put a bunch of fish on an electric chair and then zap ’em and we’re gonna put ’em in a closet and then she’s gonna have to smell that for the rest of her life.

– And that’s the worst punishment. – Wow you guys are cold-blooded. – Amanda, Angela I’m proud of you guys. Thank you for coming back. Thank you for joining the team. We serve justice today on a cute little plate with a gold trim on it.

– And we had a good day. – We did have a good day. And we are in this city having sex. – [Amanda] There you go. – Cheers girls. – I miss big. Is he ever gonna get back together with me. (Courtney laughs) – Just like that. – Okay. Thank you for watching. Please send us any recipes that have been tarnished or trifled with and we will investigate.

Thank you for being a part of my squad. May we continue to taste justice together? – Cheers. – Cheers. – I’d love a cigarette. Now let’s go hail a cab. – Yeah. – Bye.
