BuzzFeed has appointed Brian Moreno, a seasoned video producer with experience in food, lifestyle, and celebrity content, as the new head of video editorial for its popular Tasty food brand. Moreno joins forces with Ross Yoder, who has been leading editorial operations at Tasty since January.
As part of his role, Moreno will oversee the overall vision and editorial direction of Tasty's video content across digital platforms, including social networks and FAST channels. Meanwhile, Yoder is responsible for crafting editorial strategies for Tasty-owned and operated platforms, such as tasty.co and the Tasty app.
Both Moreno and Yoder report to BuzzFeed head of video Peter Grumbine, with Moreno bringing 15 years of expertise in creating engaging content that intersects food, lifestyle, and celebrity narratives. His most recent stint was as an executive video producer at Paramount Global, where he focused on digital distribution and strategy for CBS brands.
Yoder, a veteran editor, has been with BuzzFeed since 2021, prior to which he worked as a senior editor in the brand's food and home sections. Before that, he held various roles in producing TV, film, and theater projects before joining BuzzFeed.
Tasty, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, produces original long-form and short-form shows across digital platforms, including over 7,500 recipes on its platforms. New content is on the horizon for Tasty, with plans to introduce a slate of new shows in 2026.

... think it's awesome that Brian Moreno is joining forces with Ross Yoder at Tasty! Both seem super talented and have loads of experience in the food, lifestyle, and celebrity space. I mean, who doesn't love a good recipe or cooking show, right? 
With 15 years under his belt, Moreno knows how to create engaging content that resonates with people. And Yoder's got some serious editing chops 
. Fingers crossed they bring new and exciting shows to the table in 2026! 
these guys gotta bring the heat, or itll be like, totally bland 
) will lose interest. 15 years in food/lifestyle content? that's like a lifetime in internet years 
. Plus, with the new shows comin' out in '26, gotta assume more of that celebrity flair, what with Tasty bein' all about them fun recipe vids and whatnot 
. Bring it on! 
I'm telling you, something fishy about this appointment 
. Brian Moreno's got 15 years under his belt, but how did he end up at BuzzFeed? What's the real reason he's not working with any big-name food influencers or celebrities? It's all about control and profit 
. Ross Yoder's experience is legit, don't get me wrong, but what if he's just being used as a puppet to push Tasty's agenda 
? And have you noticed how both of them report to Peter Grumbine? Coincidence? I think not 
. Buzzfeed's got its finger in every pie now, and this is just another move to silence the competition 
.
i mean, have you seen their recs lately? 7500+ and counting! 
. Been watching them fail at food videos lately 
. Bring it on, more seasoned pros like him should fix that! 
. They're just gonna stick all these new shows and recipes together and expect people to magically enjoy them? I don't think so. What's the point of having an extra head of video editorial if they're not gonna shake things up around there? These two newbies are probably just gonna copy everything that worked 5 years ago, without bringing anything fresh to the table. And what about all the talented people who used to work on Tasty, like... well, whoever left because it was too boring? 
It's like they're trying to recreate the same old formula and expecting different results. I don't have faith in this new leadership, TBH 
!
I mean, think about it, Brian Moreno's got 15 years under his belt and he's just joined forces with Ross Yoder, who's been crushing it in food content since 2021. This is the future we need - innovative thinking and expertise that knows how to cut through the noise online! 
And Yoder bringing his expertise from food and home sections is perfect! It's about time we got some more diversity in that space 
Now let's see if they can live up to the hype... fingers crossed for some juicy new shows in 2026
