About
My Drunk Kitchen is a comedic cooking show on YouTube created by the Los Angeles-based comedian Hannah Hart in March 2011. Each episode usually begins with Hart drinking large amounts of alcohol before she proceeds to cook or bake a specific recipe. The recipes and drinks both vary, but will sometimes correspond with one another.
Online History
The pilot episode of My Drunk Kitchen was uploaded via YouTube on March 16th, 2011 (shown below). Titled βButter Yo Shit,β the episode features Hart attempting to cook a grilled cheese sandwich after she drinks a bottle of wine apparently found in her sisterβs kitchen. When it comes time to put the cheese on the bread, she realizes she does not have any. The video went on to gain more than 2.1 million views within a year and a half and it remains the most popular episode of the series to date.
The day after the first episode was launched, Hart established an official Tumblr blog[4] for the series. Initially, it served as another space to share her videos but by May 2011, she began blogging photos and news clips about her show as well. The series saw a large jump in subscribers in January 2012[12] after YouTuber Jenna Marbles uploaded a tribute video in which she drinks wine and an energy drink while trying to make a cheesecake (shown below).
Collaborations
My Drunk Kitchen has also had several notable YouTubers appear as guest stars including Jenna Marbles (shown below, left), Grace Helbig and Shane Dawson. In September 2011, Hart worked with Music to Wear Pants To artist Andrew Huang[3], to produce a music video titled "Show Me Where Your Noms At" (shown below, right).
Reception
As of October 2012, My Drunk Kitchen's channel has 340,535 subscribers, 32,524,431 views and receives an average of 57,261 views per day. There are currently 26 episodes spanning across two seasons and nine specials, including six holiday-themed episodes. The official Facebook fan page[2] for the show has 120,000 likes. As of October 2012, there are two single-topic Tumblr blogs[26][27] dedicated to the show and a third[28] that curates image macros based on photos of Hart with βHey girlβ-style captions.
