A newly themed diner - Joshua Peabody Inn - opened just off the interstate in Cabot Cove, drawing the praise of the town's residents and the ire of a competing diner owner. When Sheriff Tupper takes her and Dr. Hazlitt to the Joshua Peabody Inn, Jessica finds herself in the middle of another hot pot of intrigue. Several people take sick from some kind of bad food, with one afflicted lady dying on the spot. An inspector thinks it's an open-and-shut case of food poisoning, but Jessica smells a murder cooking.
Fun episode with a new diner luring the residents to it, to its detriment. The mystery is fairly good, and it never lets up keeping things under wraps till the end. Poor Sheriff Amos always get teased by Jessica and Hazlitt.
