10 Reasons to Binge-Watch Brother's Green Eats This Weekend
Everyone loves those classic late-night YouTube binge sessions; they're perfect for procrastinating studying or putting off writing that essay due tomorrow. More often than not, you might think to yourself, “That was so not worth it,” and proceed to click the next video out of the curiosity coming from pure boredom. That being said, there is one YouTube channel that will always be worth checking out: Brother’s Green Eats, an online cooking show run by brothers Mike and Josh Greenfield.
The brothers demonstrate low-cost, quick and easy recipes that are perfectly suited for college students. They stretch leaps and bounds beyond simply showing a handful of cheap eats to instead give you cool, fun and creative ways to make weeknight dinner exciting.
Here are a few reasons why Brother's Green Eats is easily my favorite cooking channel on YouTube (and well worth watching as the ideal procrastination tool).
1. It's creative
2. It's hilarious
3. The brothers create simple, cheap recipes
4. They create delicious recipes
The work of art consisted of a piece of chicken breaded with flour and egg, enhanced by various spices like cayenne pepper and, of course, hot sauce. This chicken cutlet, fried in a pan, rests between two toasted butter buns with iceberg lettuce, mayo and a crisp tomato.
I have also devoured the brothers' four-ingredient toaster cinnamon rolls on multiple occasions, as well as their mock McGriddles made in just a couple minutes in a microwave. Simple, tasty and reminiscent of childhood favorites–what more could you ask for in a cooking show?!5. They create quick recipes
6. They are food experimenters
7. They replicate fast food
With Mike and Josh, there's no need to leave the comforts of your own home to enjoy these satisfying fast food favorites.
8. They cater to those with no cooking experience
Perfect for when you want to impress your date despite the fact that the only food you’ve ever made is a grilled cheese (and you burned it).
9. They are on TV
These guys have their very own MTV cooking show. Both brothers were also contestants on Chopped. Bottom line: they're sort of famous.
10. They are an inspiration to brothers around the world
Mike and Josh do everything together—from cooking to hanging out to even making food music videos together. These guys show the best of what being brothers is all about.
If you're not convinced by now to visit their channel, don’t come crawling back to me for cooking help when I’m devouring my one-dollar peanut butter and jelly quesadilla.
