Crime Scene Kitchen returns to Fox with judges Curtis Stone and Yolanda Gampp

In the upcoming season of the mystery culinary competition, the contestants will be tasked with recreating dishes without actually seeing them. All they have, in order to guess the dish they’re preparing, are the hints left behind for them.

Crime Scene Kitchen season 2 will feature two sets of bakers, professionally trained and amateurs, as they get ready to compete in teams of two as they bake based on certain clues. In the trailer for the show, Joel McHale tells the contestants that they have a mystery to solve, and in a later confessional, he added that he’s “so glad” that the show is returning to screens.

In the upcoming season, Joel will be joined by Take Home Chef Curtis Stone and Yolanda Gampp as they serve as judges on Crime Scene Kitchen season 2. Since the show features trained bakers vs. self-taught bakers, Curtis explained the concept as he and Yolanda tried to work with Joel.

He further added that the creators wanted to make sure that the show was harder than ever, and Yolanda added that during the show, it’s going to come down to every single detail.

Joel added:

"The number of things that have to come together at the same time is insane."

Set to compete in Crime Scene Kitchen season 2:

• Torre and Michelle
• Steph and Cherry
• Donovan and Dayveon
• Kathleen and Hannah
• T and Fadi
• Kristy and Tarsha
• Bob and Vikki
• Amber and Yassmeen
• Laissa and Camille
• Ricky and DJ
• Christina and Jenae
• Sherry and Sally

During the course of the show, several guest judges will appear in order to judge the bakers, including Richard Blais, Nene Leakes, Dwight Howard, and Martina McBride. The guest judges will not only taste the food prepared in the kitchen but will also set challenges in the series.

In the trailer, Richard Blais stated that he wanted to set a challenge that would test the contestants' knowledge and skills in a way that hasn’t been seen on the Fox cooking show before.

The clip further shows the contestants at odds with each other as things get heated and the teams stop working with one another. One teammate is certain that the dish they’re supposed to bake in one of the episodes is a blackened cheesecake, while her teammate disagrees.
