About Criminal Cravings

Our Story

Criminal Cravings was born from a simple observation: everyone eats. From the most powerful mob bosses to the most notorious serial killers, food is a universal thread that connects us all to our humanity.

We explore this fascinating intersection by researching the meals, recipes, and food traditions connected to infamous criminals throughout history. Whether it's the last meal requested by someone on death row, the family recipes of organized crime figures, or the dishes served at locations where history was made.

Our goal isn't to glorify crime or criminals. Instead, we use food as a lens to explore the human stories behind the headlines, finding unexpected insights in the most mundane of activities: eating.
