Loaded Baked Potato Stuffed French Toast | New Brunch Hack | Food Wishes

Chef John has stuffed a loaded baked potato into French toast. The description calls it possibly the most delicious mash-up he has ever made, which is a big claim from a man with years of recipes behind him. Potatoes, cheddar, green onions, crispy bacon and sour cream go inside the bread, and a spicy, sweet and sour maple syrup goes on the side. Ten hours after it went up, it had close to 60,000 views.

It was one of only two uploads. The other, "Chef John's Favorite Kitchen Seasoning," is a tribute to the cayenne habit long-time viewers know well. The tags show it is an out-of-context collection, gathering the reaches for the red stuff from Potatoes Romanoff, queso dip, swicy gyro dogs, enchiladas and more. It has passed 50,000 views in six days.

The older recipe that keeps working is "Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Sandwich," Macau's panko-crusted pork chop sandwich with sambal and cilantro. Six weeks on, it is past 740,000 views and still finds a few thousand new viewers every day.

Among the cooking channels closest to Food Wishes in size, Addie Bowley is the one having the big stretch, running at nearly twice her usual pace. Tasting History with Max Miller is a little above normal, while Ha Sisters, FutureCanoe and Calfreezy are quieter than usual. Food Wishes is third of the nine by subscribers, with 4.7 million.
