EXCLUSIVE: Vice TV today unveiled Devoured, a six-part true crime docuseries set in the world of food, that will be narrated by Emmy-winning actor Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men, The CW’s Supergirl), premiering on February 21st at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Devoured explores the foods Americans love while uncovering the sordid secrets and criminal pasts that restauranteurs, chefs, and foodies have tried to hide—recipe thefts, mob beatdowns, family betrayals, and murder.
Each one-hour episode will be a deep dive into a single true-crime story that centers on one American city or region’s food specialty. Viewers will be taken through a thrill-ride of twists and turns as Cryer uncovers the unbelievable stories of how food fuels criminal enterprises, both large and small. Along the way, the series dishes up the food’s origin story and impact on the culinary landscape—while revealing how our passion for eating well can become a recipe for doing wrong.
The series will kick off with an episode exploring how the mafia took justice into their own hands after a secret family recipe was stolen from Brooklyn’s L&B Spumoni Gardens & Pizzeria. Other installments will cover “The Codfather”, who ran one of the largest fishing operations in the United States until he was taken down by the IRS for fishy business practices, the 2015 Blue Bell Ice Cream listeria outbreak, and how infidelity and a stolen recipe led to the end of New York’s world famous Carnegie Deli.
Station 10 Media produced the series which is being distributed worldwide by VICE Distribution. Lee Hoffman exec produced for Vice TV, along with EVP, Head of Production Catherine Whyte, Senior Manager, Development & Alternative Programming Liz Cowie and Vice TV EVP & GM Morgan Hertzan.
