Hungry Detective
About the Host
Born in Newport Beach, Calif., Chris Cognac grew up and worked in Torrance, Calif. It is there that he developed his love for food, working at a neighborhood restaurant and enjoying post-surf tacos at little roadside stands.
About the Show
His name is Chris Cognac and he works two beats: he's a true-blue police detective in Los Angeles AND he's the food critic for his local paper, guiding readers to hidden-gem restaurants in his hometown. Now, Chris is leaving his jurisdiction for cities across America, on a mission to uncover the best off-the-beaten-path restaurants in each place that only the locals know. Utilizing his detective skills and trusty informants along the way, Chris will teach viewers how to uncover clues to hidden-gem eateries in any town.
