Max the Meat Guy

Max Greb (born September 27, 1992), known as Max the Meat Guy online, is an American YouTuber and cook known for his videos on steaks and fillets. He launched his own jerky company, MaxJerky, in 2023.

Early life Max Greb was born on September 27, 1992, in Boston, Massachusetts. He began grilling at the age of six.

The jerky business, dubbed MaxJerky, began to sell their jerky locally; they eventually found a production facility in 2018. Before the official launch of the jerky in 2019, Greb went back to the United States to visit his mother, who was ill. The COVID-19 pandemic struck during his time back, however, and he was unable to return to China. During the pandemic, Greb began posting videos of his cooking online, gaining success on social media. His sister, Sophia, quit her job to help his channel grow. In January 2022, Krasker, in China during the pandemic, returned to the U.S. to finish graduate school, helping relaunch MaxJerky in the American market with Max and Sophia. The product was able to release in 2023. In 2024, he collaborated with McCormick & Company to release a line of seasoning mixes.
