New York City might have a reputation of being expensive, but that wasn't a problem for Food Network chef Jeff Mauro, who visited the city for his thrifty new series.

In "$24 in 24," the host of "Sandwich King" and the winner of season seven of "Food Network Star," heads off to different cities across the country looking for an "excellent day of eating" for a total of $24, including tip and tax.

The series begins Sunday in Mauro's hometown of Chicago, and airs its NYC episode on Oct. 22.
