'Epic Chef' aims lots of gluttony for viewers
BACON, whiskey and stilettos - this is not your mother's kitchen. This is "Epic Chef," YouTube's 20,000-calorie cooking show that debuts tomorrow.
"The show is complete madness," producer Rob Czar said on a recent set visit in Los Angeles, where two scantily-clad women in heels hurled greasy bacon and corn dogs at each other during a taping.
"There are no rules other than the usage of bacon and Jack Daniels," Czar said. "Pandemonium is encouraged."
"Epic Chef," an offshoot of the Canadian-produced YouTube sensation "Epic Meal Time" series, aims to bring in viewers by the million with extra helpings of gluttony - all in spite of Americans' obsession with health and weight loss.
"We're here to say pizza is good, cheeseburgers are good, but pizza-cheeseburgers are even better," said host Harley Morenstein, a former substitute teacher whose "Epic Meal Time" garners some three million views per weekly episode on YouTube.
"We do this so that you don't have to," writer Tyler Lemco added. "You can watch us and live vicariously through us."
"Epic Chef" pits contestants against each other to prepare outrageous heart-attack-inducing meat-laden dishes with massive calorie, fat and cholesterol content all in the name of impressing a panel of judges.
The winner is chosen by taste, presentation and use of ingredients.
Chefs include the likes of Ilan Hall, a past winner of Bravo's hit "Top Chef," while well-known kitchen personality Duff Goldman (Food Network's "Ace of Cakes") and writer Timothy Ferriss ("The 4-hour Chef") serve as judges.
