"People commented that salmonella entered the chat." A Belarusian went to work in Silicon Valley - and became a culinary blogger with 28 billion views

One of the world's most famous culinary bloggers, albert_cancook, is Belarusian. But his life was preparing him for a completely different career.

29.3 million subscribers on YouTube, millions of subscribers on other platforms, and his own book — this is what blogger Albert Cancook can boast today. And behind that pseudonym hides Albert Nyazhvinski, a 38-year-old Belarusian native of Minsk.

Everything changed with COVID. Albert, who was then working in Silicon Valley, switched to remote work, and during that time, a friend introduced him to TikTok:

One of Albert's first viral recipes was Slavic-style cured chicken. Interestingly, that video gained popularity largely due to hate comments:

But things really changed when Albert published a recipe for the Mexican dish tacos, to which he added a little beer. That video on YouTube got 10 million views. Albert understood that his audience was interested in Mexican cuisine, and began to make more recipes in that style, which led to an increase in his views.

In January 2022, Albert realized that blogging could fully support him, and he bid farewell to Silicon Valley. Happy times began for the BSUIR graduate:

Another love of Albert's is culinary trends and dishes from popular films and TV shows. In May 2022, he taught viewers how to make cheese pizza from the classic Disney cartoon "A Goofy Movie", and the video was written about in American media. By that time, Albert already had 5.6 million followers on TikTok.

Albert now lives with his wife in Los Angeles. He continues to blog and for several years now has been on the lists of the world's most popular culinary influencers, and his YouTube channel is among the top five largest culinary channels worldwide.

Judging by his earnings, he doesn't have to think about returning to Silicon Valley. The HypeAuditor service estimates that Albert earned up to $50,000 on YouTube alone in September. Meanwhile, the number of views on his channel has exceeded 28.5 billion.
