First We Feast is an online food-culture magazine and YouTube channel. The site co-produces the YouTube series Hot Ones. The company began as off-shoot of Complex Media, its parent company until 2024. In 2024, BuzzFeed sold Complex to NTWRK, an e-commerce company backed by Live Nation Entertainment and Main Street Advisors, but retained First We Feast. Shortly after, in December 2024, the company was sold by BuzzFeed to a group of investors, including Soros Fund Management, Sean Evans, and founder Chris Schonberger for $82.5 million.
