Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Cooking Up For Friends and Family!
A usual day on Cooking With Volk brings in somewhere around 130,000 views. Right now the channel is running at roughly double that, and one guest explains most of it.
"Cooking Up For Friends and Family!" puts Israel Adesanya on Alex Volkanovski's farm. The two former UFC champions trained together for years at City Kickboxing in Auckland, and here they share a plate. The menu, as the description lays it out, is Balkan-leaning: ćevapi, warm pita, ajvar and feta, plus chicken wings for insurance. First there are animals to round up and a fire to light, and the description admits the afternoon does not quite go to plan.
The comments are mostly about Izzy. Viewers want him back, some want him on the farm full-time, and others remember the old footage of the two cheering each other's fights at home. The most liked question is about the next guest, with Movsar Evloev's name at the top of it. One viewer who learned the hard way also has a gentle safety note about pouring fuel onto a fire from a bottle.
Adesanya is no stranger to the channel either. He also turns up in "Inside the Daily Routine of a 38 Year Old UFC Champion," a month-old look at Volk's diet and training that has passed 1.2 million views and is still drawing a steady crowd.
Subscribers kept climbing at about a thousand a day. Among the food channels around Volk's size, Ryantagcoffee and Tasty Table gathered more views over the week, while most of the group ran quieter than usual. Volk's channel ran well above its own usual pace.

@Sujith-t5tSee it on YouTubeHey Volk, hope this gets to you. Please be careful when using a bottle of any kind to tip petrol into fire. It can travel back into the bottle and cause an explosion causing major burns. Be safe Champ. Just letting you know because it happened to me 😅
