We invited Ben Ebbrell from @SortedFood to judge the most viral foods on the internet, from TikTok sensations to global food trends that have racked up billions of views.
From Buldak Carbonara noodles and smash burgers to chopped sandwiches, vodka pasta, Yorkshire pudding wraps, and the infamous Dubai chocolate… each dish must face the ultimate decision:
Stick… or Twist.
Along the way, we break down what actually makes a dish go viral — from texture and flavour to presentation, nostalgia, and internet appeal. Why do some foods explode online while others fade away? And do viral recipes actually taste as good as they look?
This isn’t just a taste test, it’s a deep dive into viral food culture, TikTok food trends, and the psychology behind the internet’s most popular dishes.
And at the end… we crown the most viral dish in the world.

Show us how they made they made the Yorkshire Wrap, PLEEEEASE ❤
Ebbers is so complimentary and nice in his reviews ❤
Hate to break it to the people who bothered to copyright a 'technique', you can't.
You can copyright a name, but a technique, such as frying a croissant in a donut shape etc, or the dubai chocolate is not copyrightable.
They are wasting their money.

I understand they are picking viral foods, so it's not necessarily rating other things, but…calling something vodka pasta (presumably because the sauce is a similar color) but not having vodka in it…that really annoyed me! Even if it's delicious…it has to be called something else! Not sure how the internet let this one slide when it was originally posted.
Fyi chopsticks dont poke in the bowl like that, always lay flat or use a holder…..
I'm sorry, an Italian sandwich should always be stacked, never chopped.
@0:07 are "Restrooms" toilets?
Bogs?
Cludgies?
Americanised sell outs.
Unsubscribed and blocked.
Not just cause of this but your current is pretty guff overall
calling knafeh emirati just because you ate it there is insane! not even people there would say that.
I love Buldak. It's basically the only instant noodle I buy.
I know it is strange but I don't actually like smash burgers. I prefer the more traditional cooked burgers. A smash burger place recently opened up here and they had a lot of business at first because people went to try it but they are not doing very well right now because most don't go back. The burgers look interesting but I just think that other places around have better burgers.
I knew we had onion burgers here in Oklahoma, but I didn't realize it got called Oklahoma Style.
always keep in mind, these guys dont care in the slightest about making you a better cook, theyre pushing a product on social media to widen their exposure and increase their worth…. youre being farmed for their benefit as is social media generally.
take what you can from their examples, but give them nothing, theyre receiving enough.
10:43 Awwww you were just a baby here! I’d not heard of you til a few months ago so great catching up now. Love sorted. And the app x
