Harley Morenstein, Hayes Grier Serve Breakfast Sandwiches From ‘Famous Food Truck’ In New Special

Harley Morenstein is steering the Famous Food Truck into town. The man known as the co-founder of the Epic Meal Time YouTube channel is the star of the latest special from Scripps Lifestyle StudiosGenius Kitchen brand, in which he puts together some breakfast sandwiches alongside social media star Hayes Grier.

The Famous Food Truck of the special’s title doesn’t seem to refer to a world-renowned mobile restaurant, but rather to a roving kitchen that happens to have famous people inside it. Morenstein’s signature touches, including his love of bacon and his tendency to bleep out curse words with wacky sound effects, are all present here, and his bold attitude drives the special, no pun intended. That said, the vibe is very easygoing, with Morenstein, Grier, and chef Lindsay Ames presiding over a loose, fun-loving culinary atmosphere.

A brief clip from Famous Food Truck is available on the Genius Kitchen Facebook page:
