The Hungry Detective, Chris Cognac, hits the streets of The Big Apple to crack the case of the best off-the-beaten-path slice of New York pizza at Bleecker Street Pizza, which is owned and operated by a former New York Police Department officer. During his investigation he also uncovers a meaty combo plate slathered with savory sauce at West Harlem’s Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, an unbelievable three-course steak dinner at an affordable price at the Upper Westside’s Fairway Market Café and Steakhouse, a mouth watering mixed-berry pancake breakfast at the Uptown Kitchenette—a hidden gem of a breakfast joint that caters to hungry students from nearby Columbia University—and some of the best burgers and shakes in town, after a trip to a locals-in-the-know stand called Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.
