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.

maybe cooking IS scary 😭

Feast with Wei starts dinner with a cleaver, a live lobster and a confident dismissal of cooking anxiety: "Imagine being scared to make dinner." The kitchen promptly supplies a reason.

In "maybe cooking IS scary 😭", the cutting board sprouts tentacles and sea netting, the picture switches to black-and-white, and Wei appears as a barnacle-covered sea captain. This is a comedy spoof of The Lighthouse, Robert Eggers's claustrophobic maritime film, rather than an ordinary lobster recipe. There is an actual dinner beneath the nightmare: Maine lobster with a baked potato, canned peas and a saltine cracker. By the end, Wei would rather someone else cooked.

The sketch was the most watched of his two new uploads, reaching roughly 92,000 views. Viewers are picking apart the switch to monochrome, asking how the practical effects work and requesting a behind-the-scenes look. The other upload, "allat for a 30 second cooking video 🤠", arrived late in the week and was only a few hours into its run.

Elsewhere in the archive, "Let us cook 🧑‍🍳👨‍🍳" remains the busiest daily draw, with the lobster sketch next and "sushi final boss 🤯" also contributing. Overall daily viewing is above Wei's usual level, though subscriber growth has been slower than his month-long pace: he added 4,000 subscribers over the week.

Among nearby food channels, Giulia Bruno is enjoying above-usual daily viewing, while TFTI BBQ is close to its normal rhythm. Wei's own week has a distinctly different menu: seafood, sea monsters and dinner plans worth reconsidering.
