Andrew  Rea is one part chef, one part filmmaker, and a generous dash of irreverent YouTube personality. With a self-taught approach both behind and in front of the camera, he has garnered a global audience of over 10 million burgeoning chefs and foodies on his channel, Babish Culinary Universe. Renowned series like "Binging with Babish," "Basics with Babish," and "Botched by Babish" form the backbone of the BCU, where his passion for teaching and experimenting in the kitchen is rivaled only by his love of film and television, both of which he endeavors to share from his Brooklyn, NY kitchen. The channel has featured notable figures such as Jon Favreau, Maisie Williams, and Roy Choi and has partnered with Google, Samsung, Warner Bros/FX, and Amazon. A two-time New York Times Best Selling author, Andrew's titles include Basics with Babish, Binging with Babish, and Eat What You Watch. The BCU has expanded into the lifestyle sector with the eponymous Babish cookware line in partnership with Gibson, available on Amazon and in Walmart's nationwide, and will enter the cannabis space with a THC-infused sugar, Baked with Babish, produced in partnership with Old Pal. Returning to his upstate New York roots, Andrew's next venture, Bed n Babish, is a highly anticipated bed & breakfast alongside the Delaware River, set to open soon.
