Food Content
I can't watch TV Shows like The Bear after working in kitchens for so long, but I really enjoy watching food content on YouTube.
A pair of Brits travel to try cuisines, and also explore locally around London.
JOLLY
These are photos of just one show that MK produces, but they have a huge range. One of my favorites compares making the same recipe with a budget grocery store vs fancy store and blind taste testing the dish!

Coffee content! Morgan covers any topic that you can think of related to this magical elixir.

Lex's ability to condense an entire decade into a visually stunning narrative arc is top tier, in my opinion.

I love this channel, part of the PBS family! They tell the history of creepy cultural icons and folklore.

A smattering of the fascinating humans that live wildly different lives than I do!
Jade makes excellent content, and the way she roasts our fellow queers is absolutely hilarious.
JADE FOX
Rikki is a Deaf creator, and I love using her videos to keep my ASL skills sharp.
