Plot Synopsis

CONSUMED: THE REAL RESTAURANT BUSINESS is a one-hour reality series that goes behind the scenes of the ultra-competitive New York food scene, chronicling five very different restaurants: famed NYC hotspot and budding empire The Meatball Shop; Melba's, a Harlem comfort food restaurant and neighborhood joint with national ambitions; Ann & Tony's, a multi-generational restaurant in the Bronx that's struggling to fill seats -- and preserve its family legacy; Vermilion, an upscale restaurant hoping to win over the critical NY food press with an expensive re-launch; and Seamore's, a bold, but risky new seafood restaurant launching this summer. This series follows the money as these hot and not-so-hot spots work tirelessly to make a place for themselves in the culinary landscape.
