In 1904, an outbreak of typhoid fever in Oyster Bay, Long Island, puzzled officials who thought they had put an end to the deadly disease. After an intense investigation, Irish-born family cook Mary Mallon became the prime suspect in spreading the infection, but before she could get tested, she disappeared. This is that fascinating story, made richer with Bourdain's wry and irreverent voice.
