Buzzfeed Worth It
BuzzFeed Worth It , featuring hosts Steven Lim, Andrew Ilnyckyj and cameraman Adam Bianchi, is a web series on BuzzFeed's Youtube channel, typically passing 10,000,000 views on each various installments. In 2016, the series started with the first episode, a stand-alone video debating whether it was worth it to bring a date to an expensive sushi restaurant rather than simply ordering takeout. Once Buzzfeed noticed that the video had received 10 million views in one week, Buzzfeed created a separate channel for the videos, entitled "Worth It.".[1]
Worth It shows three dishes (from three different restaurants) with drastically different prices. After the hosts try each dish and speak to each restaurant's chef, they debate which restaurant was the most "worth it" for its price. Worth It has been running for four seasons, having produced 39 videos total. In 2017, Worth It received a Streamy Award for best food channel.[2]
