The Wokking Dead is a horror-comedy zombie cooking show, hosted by celebrity chef Cordon Gruesome and produced by Dave, the human. After Cordon demonstrates a recipe called 'Baby Brain Dumplings' in the pilot, Dave gets upset and fears for his job when Child Protective Services shows up to battle Cordon. Cordon, however, survives and goes on to create more gruesome recipes. Dave, meanwhile, tries to talk him into doing some more consumer friendly, 'cute Halloween' recipes. This creates tension between the two, which builds until the climax: the ultimate showdown between Cordon and Dave.
