A Matter of Taste is the fourth episode of the first season of Crime Scene Cleaner, a German comedy-drama series with English subtitles. The episode follows the protagonist, Heiko "Schotty" Schotte, as he cleans up a crime scene that involves the death of a gourmet chef.

Schotty arrives at the scene to find a large, luxurious kitchen filled with high-end appliances and a variety of ingredients scattered across the floor. The victim, Thomas, lies dead on the ground, and Schotty must clean up the blood and other bodily fluids left behind.

While cleaning, Schotty meets Thomas's grieving girlfriend, Petra. She and Thomas were planning to open a Michelin-starred restaurant together, and she reveals to Schotty that Thomas was an excellent cook. Schotty is intrigued by this information, as he is a fan of gourmet food himself.

As Schotty works to clean up the kitchen, he begins to investigate the circumstances of Thomas's death. He discovers that Thomas had received a threatening letter from a rival chef, who was angry about Thomas's success. Schotty also learns that Thomas had recently hired a new sous chef, who may have had a motive to kill him.
