Feed the Beast - Season 1 (2013)

We've all experienced it. It's after midnight, and even though the party's over, you're wide-awake...and ravenously hungry. Feed the Beast host Mikey Roe knows where to find the best late night eats all over America. Each half-hour episode features a major city with great nightlife. Mikey visits four after-hours eateries, sampling some of the craziest concoctions that can only satisfy a "late night palette." Roe knows just where to go, and he's developed a special system for ranking his nocturnal experiences. Using his own "BEAST Scale" (Bargain, Energy, Area, Staff & Taste), Mikey will evaluate establishments as he goes, and at the end of each episode-- the evening as a whole. Along the way, Mikey will interact with some of the vibrant clientele that make these late night restaurants as lively as the food is delicious. He takes us behind the scenes to meet the crazy chefs who make the food that feed the after-hours customers. Mikey's not just after great eats, he is a cross-country anthropologist of all things FUN! Using late night eats as a travel lens, Feed the Beast is really about Mikey experiencing and sharing his offbeat, fresh point of view. Viewers come away with new insights about the culture of American cities as expressed by people after midnight-when everyone lets their their inhibitions go.
