Gourmet Detective: Death Al Dente Movie Synopsis

Henry Ross, a world-renown chef and food blogger, teams up with police detective Maggie Price to help solve the latest crime in San Francisco. This time, a restaurant owner is gunned down in his own kitchen. Before Henry and Maggie can solve the case, a local news reporter is also found murdered.

As they piece the mystery puzzle together, Henry finds out that the victim, his close friend, may have kept an old secret, one that may make San Francisco’s top executive chefs suspects.

Things become even more complicated after Maggie’s old flame comes back into the picture, which threatens to snip the budding relationship between Maggie and Henry at the root.

Meanwhile, Henry is looking for a talented Italian chef for the new eatery, and Maggie believes that someone is stalking her to keep the truth from coming out. Before more bodies are served up, will Maggie and Henry pinpoint the killers and solve the mystery?
