Mike and Josh started documenting their culinary jobs and experiments online. Mike started taking photographs of his daily food creations on Everyday Appetite while Josh was writing about his various food experiences on his blog called YIEatN which covered such topics as creative cooking and music.
Their comical attitude and chemistry in the kitchen lent itself to home videos, and with the help of their film-making roommate, became their first cooking show, YuNork which parodied the opening credits to Dexter.
