Finding the Best Viral Food in the World (ft Ben from Sorted Food)
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.
