Plot Synopsis

In each half-hour episode of PADMA'S LATE NIGHT BITES, host Padma Lakshmi travels to a different American city to embark on an all-night food crawl with a celebrity friend, as they eat their way through that city's food scene and sample cuisine from around the world in just a matter of hours. On Monday, March 19, 2018 at Noon ET/PT, FYI TV premiered the series pilot, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. In the pilot, Padma and comedian Mo Mandel go everywhere in New York City -- from a Mexican bodega where they learn about traditional Pueblan dishes to a 24-hour Ukranian diner from some fresh pierogies.
