What Happened to EPIC MEAL TIME?

The YouTube channel Epic Meal Time was an unlikely viral phenomenon that took the internet by storm in the early 2010s. Its brilliant yet deceptively simple premise of creating outrageously unhealthy fast food concoctions resonated immensely with a certain subset of viewers. Episodes like the staggeringly caloric "Fast Food Lasagna" and "Turbacon Epic Thanksgiving" special would build anticipation by meticulously assembling and teasing the final caloric monstrosity, while also tapping into cultural trends of the time like the obsession with bacon and the exaggerated macho bro persona embodied by host Harley Morenstein.
This novel format combined shocking excess, culinary debauchery, frat boy humor, and a liberal dose of alcohol into a perfect storm of viral wildfire, generating massive word-of-mouth buzz that rapidly propelled Epic Meal Time from a low-budget cooking channel to one of the biggest presences on the entire YouTube platform within its first few years. At its peak, the show's audacious videos were practically unavoidable in the cultural conversation. So WTF Happened to Epic Meal Time?
