This week my guest is Nick DiGiovanni. Nick was a MasterChef finalist on season 10, which he did while attending Harvard. Since then, he’s been creating food and cooking content online. His YouTube channel recently passed the 10 million subscriber mark, and he has over 11 million followers on TikTok.
His videos are both educational and funny, often done in collaboration with other celebrities and and YouTube personalities. He’s made slushies with Mr Beast (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pfQESDiqyCc) , chili with Kevin from the office (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqdXCEZC_Ng&ab_channel=NickDiGiovanni) , and recently broke the Guinness book of world records for the largest beef wellington (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUMWrN2xpJg&ab_channel=NickDiGiovanni) . That video, by the way, featured someone you might have heard of…Gordon Ramsay. But Nick still seems pretty grounded. While grateful for his fans and followers, he says he doesn’t get caught up in the numbers and analytics.
Last week he released his first cookbook Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook. We discuss the book, video creation, collaborations and more. We also talk about Nick's line of premium cooking and finishing salts called Osmo Salt (https://www.osmosalt.com/) .
