Sunny Anderson hosts Cooked and Booked, the podcast where food and true crime get blitzed, blended and baked into one deliciously dangerous dish. Sunny is best known as a Food Network host, but she’s also a true crime obsessive. In each episode she walks guests through wild stories of scams, heists and criminal capers with tasty twists. Like any good menu, this podcast has a wide array of offerings. Some stories are savory, like one man’s multi-year scam to create and sell millions in fake vintage wine. Others are spicy, like a Michelin food critic who blows the lid off the whole “starred” system. And a few are sweet, like the orchestrated robbery of literal tons of maple syrup. Every episode is filled with decadent drama in culinary cahoots.Produced by Paradiso Media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
