First We Feast is an online food-culture magazine and YouTube channel.[1] The site co-produces the YouTube series Hot Ones. The company began as off-shoot of Complex Media, its parent company until 2024.[2] In 2024, BuzzFeed sold Complex to NTWRK, an e-commerce company backed by Live Nation Entertainment and Main Street Advisors, but retained First We Feast.[3]
First We Feast began in 2012 as a food culture blog edited by Chris Schonberger, who had formerly worked for TONY.[4] The blog was an off-branch of Complex magazine. The website gained a measure of popularity, and began to incorporate interviews and cooking guides into its website.[5] In 2014 the website launched its YouTube channel, which produces a number of food-related video series, most notably Hot Ones (hosted by Sean Evans),[6] The Curry Shop,[7] The Burger Show (hosted by Alvin Cailan) and Burger Scholar Sessions (hosted by George Motz).[8]
