Consumed: The Real Restaurant Business
With more than 8 million people calling New York City home, and millions more visiting each year, you'd think there would be enough hungry people in the Big Apple to make most restaurants successful. Unfortunately for restaurateurs, that's not the case. Margins are thin and it's not easy to make money on the New York culinary scene. This show provides a behind-the-scenes look at five restaurants fighting for their share of the multibillion-dollar New York restaurant industry. From up-and-coming chain The Meatball Shop to upscale eatery Vermilion and risky new seafood venture Seamore's, the staff at each business works tirelessly to try to make it in the cutthroat field in the nation's most populous city. Every struggle the eateries face, along with their occasional triumph, is chronicled.
