Morenstein, 33, is the star and co-creator of Epic Meal Time, the weekly updated YouTube channel with over 7 million followers who click on videos of Morenstein and his friends tackling "epic" food challenges — many of which include cooking and eating meals with enough fat, calories and bacon to make even the biggest junk food junkie do a double-take.
One video, for example, features the "Frankenpig," a bacon-wrapped, spaghetti-stuffed turkey that will haunt your arteries. And that lasagna? It was made from pounds of pork, packages of bacon and eight wheels of brie. With his band of merry food pranksters, Morenstein is building a mini-empire, one that has already spawned a spin-off cable television series and now, a line of food products — from his brand Super Snack Time — ranging from pizza-flavored pepperoni jerky to cheesy bacon biscuit mix.
Between Epic Meal Time's advertising revenue from YouTube and Facebook, along with its other business ventures, including Super Snack Time and other branded merchandise, Morenstein says the business pulls in millions of dollars per year. He also spent his spare time messing around with a video camera and picking up small gigs as a videographer.
Morenstein harbored dreams of performing on camera, having gone to the occasional acting audition around Montreal, only to be told that his six-foot-six-inch, burly frame was best suited to play "a gigantic mutant," he jokes. At the same time, Morenstein and his friends were watching a lot of amateur videos on YouTube where people like them were racking up millions of views doing everything from comedy skits to instructional videos.
Morenstein brainstormed content ideas, including comedy skits. But it wasn't until one night in the summer of , when he was hanging out drinking with a group of hungry friends, that Morenstein finally stumbled on the formula that became YouTube gold.

Wikitubia Explore. Discord staff Approved bots. YouTube Wikis. I keep plenty of low-carb snacks around, like pork rinds and Pizza in a Bag, my own pepperoni pizza jerky. Once you get a taste for carbs, the cravings can come crashing back immediately. Even my ketchup is sugar-free. I put mustard on everything. My chefs make eggs, guacamole, sausage, and bacon, put it in a bowl with hot sauce, and call it breakfast. Pass on the potatoes. Other guys make a whole bunch of beef patties or chicken breast for the next day, which is smart.
I order prepackaged meals that get delivered to the house, and I choose the no-carb options with veggies and various proteins. This is dieting! I just go by the signs of my body.
