    NEW YORK, NY, September 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- World-renowned celebrity tastemaker and lifestyle expert Porter Brooks (www.PorterBrooks.com), famous for his hit television series Entertaining People, www.EntertainingPeople.com), announced today the release of his latest FOOD TV series, URBAN BITE (http://youtu.be/M6Vk768J7pg).

The fast-moving format is jam-packed with hip, fun and entertaining ideas and menus created especially for an urban setting. "Great taste in small places is what this series is all about," said Brooks. "I wanted to break away from an outdated traditional dump-and-stir format and do something modern and relevant to today's audiences." Brooks' first series, Entertaining People was released at MIP-TV in Cannes in 2012 and reached national distribution to 100 million cable households in the US running five days a week.

Specifically written by Brooks to attract co-viewership, Urban Bite goes to market with 21 full ready-to-air episodes. Industry screenings are available as the series is shopped to influential global and domestic distributors to sell and promote the series. "Although the series was written for domestic programming, the global demand for lifestyle content allows us to develop a durable brand on the international front." said Brooks. "We created Urban Bite to be attractive to downloadable on-demand content providers such as Hulu, Netflix and Crackle." The series is also available to traditional network and cable outlets around the world. "While still hitting our English-speaking countries target, our episodes also accommodate foreign language dubbing and close captioning, making us different and viable to all major international territories," said Brooks.

Urban Bite comprises three seven-minute segments, all of which were shot live-to-tape, successfully capturing a reality feel that is both intriguing and unfamiliar to food television. "Our hope is that they love what they see. It is genuine, fearless, and downright entertaining approach to lifestyle reality TV," said Brooks. "You'll notice that I am filming in my funky New York loft; all my recipes and style ideas are mine. You're peeking into my home when the cameras are rolling so the footage is genuine and from my heart, not from scripts or memorized content. I know my audience will appreciate that," said Brooks.
