One night while chatting with her former roommate from California, she had an idea. Her friend was saying how much she missed when the two girls would have some drinks, cook in the kitchen and hilarity would always ensue.
That night, Hart decided to do just that. Hart used her computer to record herself drinking wine while attempting to make a grilled cheese sandwich without any cheese.
Hart uploaded the video to YouTube and titled it "My Drunk Kitchen".
Within a few days, the video had accumulated 100,000 hits. Viewers began asking for another "episode" of the video, and Hart complied with more recordings.
Two months after launching her YouTube channel, she ended up quitting her 9-5 job to focus on the channel.
