Henry Ross is a chef that has been dubbed the "Gourmet Detective" due to his excellent observation skills. Previously, he helped the detectives when he witnessed a murder and proved quite knowledgeable about food poisoning, as well as the people in the restaurant industry. He is now an "official" consultant to the homicide department.
Henry is not too thrilled when one of Maggie's ex-boyfriends, who also happens to be a detective, shows up on the current crime scene. It is obvious Detective Steve Miller would like to rekindle their relationship and Maggie seems somewhat receptive to the idea. After all, they have known each other since their college days and he was also there to help her through the difficult times that followed her divorce.
Part of the fun of watching this series, is watching the expressions on all of the other actors faces. They do an excellent job of showing their thoughts without saying anything.

Death Al Dente Movie Synopsis
Restaurant owner, Leo Triviano, was first attacked by an intruder in his kitchen pantry. A week later, he survived being shot, but was later murdered in the hospital. Of course, his longtime friend, Henry Ross, wants to find the killer.
Henry knew Leo had a problem with his head chef, Mateo Durand, which would
make him suspect #1 in Henry's opinion. However, that certainly would
not explain the first intruder encounter since Mateo would always have
access to the kitchen pantry. And, exactly what was the intruder
looking for in the pantry?
When a letter is found in the shredder, it seems it must be related to the
murder. Otherwise, why would anyone destroy an old letter. Once
the letter is put back together, it is still not clear until they realize
there must be something important hidden in the words of the letter.
The investigation leads them to some surprising discoveries and
suspects. Just how many secrets did this family have?
