YouTube HUNGRY Guide: The Food Channel’s New Shows Plus Everything You Need to Know

YouTube’s brand new food channel HUNGRY, created by multimedia studio Electus, is set to launch Wednesday and HuffPost Food has you covered with everything you need to know. The channel, helmed by Food Network and Cooking Channel veteran Bruce Seidel, aims to form a more direct community with viewers than television can, and have more flexibility with format and content. Seidel believes that the programs on HUNGRY have strong enough production value to rival food programs on mainstream television — though the programs are much shorter for the online audience. Expect a lot in the one to three minute range.

Duff Goldman, a consultant for HUNGRY in addition to having his own show on the channel, told the Associated Press, “It’s magic. It doesn’t have any boundaries. I don’t need to make it 22 minutes. I don’t need to make any sponsors happy. I can get away with stuff.”

HUNGRY is part of YouTube’s plan to roll out 100 niche channels with original programming. The $200 million venture will be marketed across Google and its advertising networks.

Below, you’ll find a guide to all the shows and when they’ll premiere, plus photos and video clips. Included in the guide are three never-before-announced programs: Drink, Inc., Summer Beer Cocktails With The Beer Chicks and Grill This With Nathan Lippy.
