Grace May's pho sketch goes from fresh herbs to sauce overload
A silent restaurant comparison has viewers identifying their own habits, and recognizing their parents across the table.

Which one are you? 👀 #pho #relatable
Grace starts with herbs. Sitting over a bowl of pho, she adds the greens, claps her hands and takes a spoonful of clear broth. Across the table, the seasoning is considerably less restrained: red Sriracha and dark hoisin go straight over the noodles in generous squeezes.
That's the entire setup of Grace May's restaurant sketch, which labels its diners as the two types of pho eater. No dialogue is needed. The Short drew roughly 77,000 views in its first day, more than six times her usual start for the format.
Viewers are sorting themselves into the spicy camp, recognizing a parent in one of the bowls, or refusing to choose because their approach changes with their mood. One recalls a friend who used half a bottle of sauce and still insisted it wasn't spicy.
For a channel whose most-watched Shorts revolve around skincare and acne humor, it's a food-table detour. Grace's recent Trader Joe's sandwich videos have already given her beauty routines some lunchtime company.
