Bacon Strips, Bacon Strips, Bacon Strips, Bacon Strips

If you haven’t figured out what today’s post will be about then go check out Epic Meal Time’s Youtube channel.

Extreme? Yes. Insane? Yes. Ingenious? Yes. Entertaining? Heck Yes.

Who knew people would find a group of guys cooking up outrageous food monstrosities loaded with meat, bacon, booze, fat, sugar and anything else that will clog up your arteries so entertaining? Epic Meal Time has successfully established themselves in a relatively untapped market of cooking and eating giant meals (I can only think of Man v. Food as its “competitor”). The fact that they are continuously thinking of ways to re-invent food ideas in a ridiculously big scale is what differentiates them from other cooking shows and what enables them to maintain their popularity and viewership. I think the viewers’ primary shock comes from the insane amount of calories and fat each meal has, but what makes them return to watch more videos is not only the ingenious food ideas but also the unique personalities of the Epic Meal Time team.

All their videos have gone viral with a total of over 22 million views and while some people are turned off by the amount of fat and calories each meal boasts, there is no denying their popularity. So I wasn’t too surprised when I heard that they have been offered their own television show by a cable network company.

There is no guarantee that the show will be successful and this is a big decision both for Epic Meal Time team and the network company. I do think, however, that this partnership could be very advantageous for Epic Meal Time to continue building their brand as the “food extremists” and the network to gain consumer acceptance and popularity.

All in all, I’m super excited to watch some of their episodes on TV and I’m looking forward to what they’ll be cooking up next.
