About this episode

The episode features chefs Ben and Sarah Lambert cooking recipes from Dorothea Puente's cookbook while discussing her criminal activities.

The three mustaches are joined by Ben and Sarah Lambert from the only Michelin starred barbecue restaurant in the world. Why are there professional chefs on the show? Because it's time to cook some killer food from a serial killer's cook book! Between 1982 and 1988, Dorothea ran a boarding house for the elderly and infirm in Sacramento, California. Unfortunately, her charitable endeavor soon came under scrutiny due to her residents mysteriously dropping dead. So, sit back and enjoy the story as Ben and Sarah prepare a few of Dorothea's classic recipes from her book, 'Cooking with a Serial Killer'.
