Extinct fast food, brought back by Joshua Weissman, nears six million

No new uploads went up, so an eleven-day-old revival of vanished menu items is doing the heavy lifting on the 10.7-million-subscriber channel.

I Tried Fast Food That No Longer Exists

Joshua Weissman took a week off from posting, and the kitchen kept working without him. "I Tried Fast Food That No Longer Exists" went up eleven days ago with a one-line promise to bring the extinct back to life and then eat it, and it is closing in on six million views.

It is a natural fit for a cook whose own about text confesses an obsession with bread and a soft spot for anything with a lot of butter in it. Rebuilding a discontinued drive-thru item from memory is the homemade-versus-fast-food idea he is best known for, turned toward nostalgia.

Behind it sit two older videos that keep drawing a crowd. "I Cook For a Baby" is two months old and still pulling in views at about half the pace of the fast-food video. "Steak Challenge @itsQCP @CookinWithVolk" brings in two fellow food creators, QCP and Volk, and a month on it is past the two-million mark.

Among the cooking channels nearest him in size, Max the Meat Guy and mrnigelng are the ones running above their usual pace. Mark Wiens and Bobby Parrish are quieter than normal. Weissman sits fourth by subscribers in that group, with nothing new to show and a revived menu still doing the talking.
