How long to cook the fish? 🐟 #shorts

Among the cooking channels nearest Kyle Istook in size, the busy stretch belongs to others: Chef Tyler, BeardMeatsFood and Nick's Kitchen are all drawing well above their usual daily views. Kyle sits fourth by subscribers in that company, level with Great Big Story at around 6.3 million.

His own week was two shorts long. "How long to cook the fish? 🐟 #shorts" went up on September 29 and gathered about 145,000 views in its first day, and it is now the busiest thing on the channel. It is a question-in-the-title format his viewers seem to like, the same shape as an older short that asked about burgers.

The other upload, "Heart-Shaped Ramen ❤️ #shorts," arrived five days earlier and has stayed a much quieter dish.

The heavier lifting comes from the back of the menu. "Cheese vs Chocolate #shorts," posted a little over a month ago, is closing on ten million views and still draws well over a hundred thousand a day. Behind it, "Best way to cook the burger? 🍔 w/ Cassie Istook #shorts" keeps moving too, seven weeks on, with Cassie sharing the grill.

For someone whose about text calls him half of Food Dudes, the solo kitchen is doing just fine on its own.
