The concept behind Hungry Nation is to create an online community for the average person who is interested in the trend toward high-quality, unique food—but is not an expert cook. “We want to capture that movement online in a way that is about real people and real food, not star chefs,” said Kathleen Grace, who was recently installed as Next New’s programming director. “This is about food that is more accessible. And it’s aimed at a younger audience that isn’t being addressed by the Food Network.”
