Food content creators make the “food-tok” world go ‘round. They create our favorite recipes, decide the flavor of the season, find all the best restaurants, and — most importantly — give some awesome new trends to try out. As 2024 comes to an end, here are our favorite TikTok food content creators that left their mark on the culinary world this year.
Alex Khoxayo
Also known by his TikTok handles @alexyosiekho and @alexkhosieyo, Alex Khoxayo is putting an entertaining spin on food content. While his typical content involves mukbangs and reviews, he also has a series called OverUnder where he eats Subway footlong cookies, hefty Chipotle burritos, and other surprisingly large food in just a few bites. He has amassed over 1.2 million followers on his main TikTok account and is working on growing his YouTube channel.
Alissa Nguyen
Alissa Nguyen’s recipe videos may be chaotic, but they look absolutely delicious. Her TikTok account, @alissanguyen_, has three million followers and is filled with mukbangs, tutorials, and food hacks. Even her simple ramen videos have my stomach growling. @alissanguyen_ is one of the best foodie content creators to scroll through if you’re in need of a giggle, and remember, she doesn’t make the rules.
Alyssa Knudsen
Alyssa Knudsen, aka @thatfoodielyss, makes every Crumbl lineup sound better than the last. Known for her mukbang and ASMR content, she has amassed just over one million followers on TikTok. She never seems to shy away from a good dipping sauce, and the best part about her account is the utter shock in the comment section when she dunks a cookie in her iced milk.
Brayden DeGarmo (and Nicole Ludwig)
Sit back and chat with Brayden DeGarmo, also known as @caloriecarnage, while he eats food from popular chain restaurants. DeGarmo also has a food account with his girlfriend Nicole Ludwig on their shared account @brayden.nicole. The couple makes a series called “Which Would You Choose” where they each eat their respective favorite meals from a restaurant and fans can vote on whose choice they would snack on. Needless to say, my answer is typically both.
Harrison Wallace
Want to chat about all things life while also learning how to cook? Harrison Wallace may be the creator for you. A member of Spoon University’s Supper Club, Wallace has just over 335,000 followers on TikTok and many videos with millions of views. His page (under the username @harrywallace) is filled with recipe videos that make you feel like you’re sitting down with him in the kitchen as well as the occasional shopping vlog or product round-up.
Issa Okamota
College cafeterias are known for being notoriously bad, but Issa Okomota makes them look absolutely delicious. Also known by the handle @issaokomota, Her “dining hall hauls” make you feel like you’re sitting down with a friend to chat about all of the campus gossip. I don’t know what I’m going to do when she graduates.
Logan Moffitt
According to Logan Moffitt, sometimes you just need to eat an entire cucumber. If you haven’t been personally victimized by a mandolin trying to make one of Logan’s recipes, you’ve probably at least heard of them. His TikTok page, @logagm, has amassed nearly seven million followers. Logan’s simple recipes make any mix of vegetables look delicious, and the hardest part is typically just shaking everything up. Oh, and don’t forget the MSG.
McKenna Marie
Who wouldn’t like a second dinner? McKenna Marie, also known by her handle @mckennaiseating, practically coined the term on her TikTok page. Her videos typically consist of late night food hauls, leftover concoctions, and lunch-in-the-car mukbangs. Another member of Spoon University’s Supper Club, @mckennaiseating’s videos are sure to leave you drooling during your doom scroll.
Maria Viera
Maria Viera, also known by her handle @latinafoodiela, gives her 267,000 TikTok followers an inside look at all of the best restaurants in and around Los Angeles. She provides all of the need-to-know information like the most popular menu items, restaurant locations, and honest reviews of the food. Most of her content focuses on Mexican cuisine, and boy do her bites look tasty.
Mo
Mo, also known by the handle @mostasting, makes every cuisine he tries look delicious. Whether it’s Peruvian, Indian, Portuguese, Italian, you name it, Mo has probably filmed a restaurant review for it. He tries what are “supposedly the best” restaurants all around the Northeast on his TikTok account for his 794,000 followers. Mo also makes easy comfort-food cooking videos that even the most beginner chefs can follow. It’s like Mo says, cooking is a life skill, so why not be good at it?
Olivia Tiedmann
Olivia Tiedemann is the creator for no BS recipes. She’s not afraid to tell you what sucks (and what doesn’t), and her aesthetic videos make cooking everything from potatoes to duck look effortless.
