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.

DRUNKEN SPAGHETTI Might Be the Best Pasta I've Ever Made

SAM THE COOKING GUY posted two very different answers to the dinner question: spaghetti finished in red wine, and a ground-beef curry billed as a quick way to feed a family without spending much.

"DRUNKEN SPAGHETTI Might Be the Best Pasta I've Ever Made" was the bigger new draw, reaching about 226,000 views. The method gives the title its meaning: partially cooked spaghetti finishes in red wine, before sausage, butter and Parmesan join it. Garlic, shallots, tomato paste and red pepper flakes round out the dish. The video also includes a sponsored coffee segment.

The comments take a few familiar kitchen detours. Viewers recall the razor-sliced garlic scene in Goodfellas, recognize an old-school Sam kitchen setting and wonder about the laptop's proximity to the pan. Others compare their own wine-sauce habits or suggest adding vegetables.

"Give Me $13 and 25 Minutes... I'll Feed Your Whole Family!" takes a more practical route through Japanese ground-beef curry and rice. Sam promises enough for a small family, and although it has fewer total views than the spaghetti, it currently draws the most daily views of any upload on the channel.

Overall, the channel added roughly a million views, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing a little below its usual level. Nearby food channels Sweet Impact and More Best Ever Food Review Show had substantially larger viewing weeks.

There is another dinner keeping the older catalog active, too: "The $25 Slow Cooker Dinner That Blew Me Away." Sam describes it as the channel's first slow-cooker outing after years of cooking, pairing beef chuck roast with creamy Parmesan polenta.
