Dylan Richards is a highly-visible food critic who spends countless hours travelling throughout the five boroughs of New York City evaluating restaurants and eateries to assess the quality, ingredients, and taste of food while noting the ambiance and cleanliness of the establishment. Dylan has begun to document his findings for the series currently in production entitled "LunchNYC." "LunchNYC" is a documentary-style television show that addresses the poor food quality that school children are submitted to as the incidence of obesity and health issues have taken on national urgency. Lunch and Dylan travel beyond the school cafeteria to farms, supermarkets, culinary institutes and food establishments to discover the pleasure and progress associated with a healthily lifestyle, while exposing the stark reality of poor food quality that far too many school children (and adults) are subjected to.
