Happy Birthday Chef @patrickzeinali @ChefRush

What did you think?

A giant pizza won't tempt Chef Andre Rush, so Patrick Zeinali and Albert try something considerably meatier: an enormous rack of ribs, fried in a pot full of melted butter. Then comes the answer they weren't cooking for: "Too much protein."

The birthday Short on albert_cancook has reached roughly 2.7 million views in 13 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts. Its comments are unusually busy, too, with viewers singling out Rush's unexpected objection to protein and a stick of butter that appears to enter the pot still wrapped.

This is a staged cooking comedy and a sponsored segment for a dating app, rather than a candid birthday gathering. The sketch eventually supplies a fictional romantic setback to explain why none of the oversized food is cheering Rush up.

Before that turn, though, dessert gets its own extravagant preparation. Albert and Patrick crush stacks of Oreos into a giant cookie crust, frost it and present another oversized offering to their difficult-to-feed guest.

The trio also appeared together in "3 Levels of Date Night Dishes @ChefRush @patrickzeinali", posted earlier this month. Here, even an entire birthday menu isn't enough to keep their celebration on course.
