Early life and education
editCho was born in California[3] and grew up in Rhode Island.[citation needed] She has a degree in graphic design.[4]
Career
editCho started her channel in 2010, while living in Japan; her first video was of her using a Japanese candy-making kit.[2] Her initial goal was to "the dual intention of combating the loneliness of moving away from home and documenting her adventures as a foreigner living in Japan".[5]
Her videos include her trying foods from other nations, including unusual ones such as other countries' military rations.[5][3][6] Often her videos differ from many social media food videos in that they aren't food challenges -- that is, social media influencers trying something that some might find disgusting or strange, or trying to eat as much as possible of a food or ingredient in a specified period of time -- but are instead "a detailed account of the taste, packaging, and history" of a food, often including testing recipes.[5] As of 2015 her videos were created using boxes of ingredients curated by viewers; at that time she had a five-month backlog of boxes she planned to feature.[5][7]
She travels frequently to Japan for her videos.[6] She also posts videos of her backyard chickens.[2]
Cho is a member of the creator company Jellysmack.[8]
In 2022, her content appeared in Pinterest in an exclusive show and a video of her making and eating Mississippi pot roast, a slow-cooker recipe which in addition to a chuck roast calls only for a packet of au jus gravy mix, a packet of ranch dressing mix, pickled pepperoncini peppers and their brine, and a stick of butter; went viral.[9][6]
In a 2023 deal, her content appeared on The Roku Channel's free ad-supported content.[10]
Influence
editThe Providence Journal called her out as one of "the biggest influencer chefs in Rhode Island".[2] Daily Dot called her "the foodie of YouTube".[5] Paste called her channel one of YouTube's best food channels.[11]
Personal life
editCho is Taiwanese-American.[4] As of 2023 Cho was based in Rhode Island.[6][2] As of 2018 she and her husband have one child, a son.[12]
