Interviews with TV industry figures over their favorite meals.
You'd be amazed, the things people will spill when their mouths are full. B&C Executive Editor Melissa Grego reports on her dining excursions with the industry's players at their favorite restaurants, offering a window into what's truly eating TV's tastemakers (yep, puns intended). Mel's Diner navigates the intersections of food, the TV business and the people who work in it, with posts on everything from who dines where (see our 'Fly on the Wall' series) to the can't-miss joints in cities where the industry gathers. What's the etiquette for working meals? What's cooking at the studio commissaries? Find out at Mel's Diner , open all night. Email Mel's Diner
