For someone who spends half his life traveling, Jeb Brooks has the kind of upbeat energy that makes you wonder if he even knows jet lag. For the 141st dinner interview, we met at Filomena — a D.C. institution dripping in Venetian décor and Halloween skeletons — to talk about Greener Grass, the hit YouTube travel channel where Jeb and his wife Suzanne crisscross the globe filming first-class flights, far-flung adventures, and everything in between.
Between arancini and amaretto, Jeb proved as polished and relentlessly positive as his videos suggest. No cynicism, no gloom, just curiosity and gratitude as he explores whether the grass really is greener elsewhere.
That’s so cool. I want to go back to DC again soon.
