Meat. Liquor. Friends.
This should be the formula for everything, but in two instances this has become the formula for ultimate success. Tailgating at football games, and an online cooking show based in Canada.
Epic Meal Time is an internet phenomenon that averages 1 million page views a week per video that's posted every Tuesday.

What more could you possibly ask for? Nothing.
