Epic Meal Time, launched in 2010, presents food as entertainment, focusing on elaborate meat dishes. 'TurBaconEpic Thanksgiving' stuffed multiple birds into a pig, achieving 79,046 calories. This platform redefined food culture by merging outrageous cooking with entertainment, inspiring future food content. Harley Morenstein and his team, who referred to themselves as 'the Jackass of food,' created a viral sensation. The juxtaposition of ingredients and chaotic presentation showcased a moment in cooking that blurred lines between culinary artistry and absurdity.

Uploaded to YouTube in 2010, 'TurBaconEpic Thanksgiving' was Epic Meal Time's fourth video, garnering more than 19 million views since.
In the early 2010s, this was food culture. It doesn't matter if you've never seen an Epic Meal Time video in your life; this group of Canadian boys... was both the ultimate distillation of a moment in cooking.
We were basically the Jackass of food.
