Binging with Babish is a cookery show dedicated to finding how delicious (and occasionally horrifying) fictional meals actually taste. Andrew Rea is a chef, a filmmaker, and a YouTube personality with a splash of irreverence. He goes by the alias, Oliver Babish, inspired by the character in the massively popular series The West Wing. His cooking show, Binging with Babish, is watched by millions of aspiring chefs and foodies around the world. He is self-taught both behind and in front of the camera. Only his love of movies and television, which he tries to impart from his Brooklyn, NY kitchen, rivals his passion for teaching and experimenting in the kitchen. Every fiction festival from Binging with Babish is ranked from delectable to shockingly repulsive. From the highs of Chef and Big Night to the lows of Elf and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, there’s something for everyone.
In the Binging with Babish series, the show recreates food from movies, television shows, and video games, while the Basics with Babish series focuses on more traditional cuisine. In February of 2016, the first video in the series was released. Binging with Babish is incredibly popular and you can keep up with Chef Rea via his Twitter with over 195 thousand followers or his Facebook and Instagram which each boast over 1 million fans and followers. His most prolific source of entertainment comes from his YouTube channel with over 9.2 million followers.
