Crumbshoes: The Crime Scene Kitchen Podcast

Join Nick (he/him) and Christine (she/they) in an ongoing convo about the best reality show of all time, Crime Scene Kitchen! We recap each episode, learn about new pastries, and even talk to some of the amazing bakers from the show!

Crime Scene Kitchen S3:E2: The One With the Friends (Part 1)

We are joined in this episode by brilliant Crime Scene Kitchen Season 2 finalist Chef T Lawrence-Simon (he/they), who briefly caught us up on his incredibly busy year and then delved into some insightful baking analyses and hilarious soundbites about Season 3! In this half of the resulting epic two-parter, we meet the bakers in the Friends pool and recap their first Safety Bake. We also discuss Splenda Daddies, Yolanda’s incredible fits and their possible effects on the Gaytrix ™, and the continuing shenanigans of the impudent child/possible serial killer who leaves clues in the Crime Scene Kitchen for the bakers to find. In our next episode you'll hear Chef T's thoughts on the Elimination Bake, more behind the scenes stories, and his (and Nick and Christine's) predictions on who will win Season 3!

Crime Scene Kitchen S2 E6: Classically Trained: Easy As Pie

This week's Crime Scene Kitchen was a doozy. Talking points in this podcast episode include just how impossible the conditions are for the bakers on the show, a dramatization of the theoretical baker who owns the Crime Scene Kitchen (her name is Mumsy btw), and how important dance is to the art of baking. We also break down the stats before the moiger (merger) next week.

Crime Scene Kitchen S2 E5: Self-Taught: Follow the Clues

Okay, so we may have been a little tired when we recorded this episode. We may have spent an inordinate amount of time talking about various sizes of frozen cheese precipitation in Wisconsin. Nick may have taken his delusions of CSK-related grandeur a bit too far. So...our bad. But also, you're welcome. (But seriously, thank you for listening!

Interview with Leslie and Emma from CSK S1!

AKA, A Stunning Fourth of July Tribute to All Contestants...But Mostly Emma and Leslie (from CSK Season 1) We're publishing this episode early as a Fourth of July bonus! In this interview, we discuss the finer points of joining an Unnamed Baking Competition Reality Show during COVID and smuggling Fruit Roll-Ups into summer camp, and discover that Leslie has some unfinished business with the mango cheesecake from Season 1. It should surprise no one that Leslie and Emma are just as delightful and brilliant over a Zoom call as they are on the show. This interview is a MUST-LISTEN for all fans of Crime Scene Kitchen, as we learn much more about these two remarkable women. Their unique perspective brought us so much more insight on the show than we had before.

Crime Scene Kitchen S2 E3: Self-Taught Bakers: Not So Simple

I know what you're thinking: why would a podcast that recaps a one-hour-long reality show be over two hours long? Well, let me answer your question with a question: What even is time? Or a Basque cheesecake, for that matter? Talking points include but are not limited to: more riser reactions and saltine crust moments (tm), fatherly advice from Nick to an eliminated baker, the inherently flawed nature of human memory, and finding the exact right amount of confidence to succeed on this show, and in life.
