My Drunk Kitchen is a cooking show and comedy series of short videos created and posted on YouTube by content creator Hannah Hart[1][2] beginning in March 2011.[3] The series features Hart, a San Franciscan proofreader living in Los Angeles, typically attempting to cook or bake various dishes, or otherwise engaging in some food-related activity, all while imbibing large quantities of alcoholic beverages.[1] Most episodes have their own recipe, and occasionally a corresponding beverage. The series has been praised for its drunk humor, quotable catchphrases, and use of jump cut editing.[4][5][6] Hart's YouTube channel has 2.4 million subscribers.[7]

She successfully raised $36,000 in four hours and made plans to continue filming My Drunk Kitchen on the road. While the roadshow featured Hannah's comedy skits, the show was also used to attract viewers to help volunteer in local food operations.[8]

Hannah and Hank Green, along with Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart, cook homemade corn dogs that are made as muffins due to a lack of sticks. The episode was shot by Grace and did not use a mounted camera due to the height differences between Hannah and the others.
In addition to My Drunk Kitchen, Hart has also posted a series of videos, "Advice from the Hart", answering viewer questions or requests for advice.[11]
