There were no new uploads this week, but "I Ate the Weirdest Meals in America" is the channel's busiest video right now. Posted in July, it takes Ted from a Garbage Plate with comedian Grace Reiter in Rochester to cinnamon-spiced chili in Cincinnati, then a peanut butter and jelly bacon cheeseburger in Tallahassee. The video includes a sponsored segment for Zocdoc.
The burger earns a particularly clear verdict: Ted calls it his favorite meal of the trip so far. For all the title's emphasis on weirdness, this is also a tour of things he genuinely enjoys eating.
Across the channel, subscribers held steady at about 2.4 million, while daily views are running a little below their usual pace. The back catalog supplied roughly 380,000 views over the week without a new arrival.
Food isn't doing all the work. "I Watched Every Barbie Movie Ever Made" remains close behind the road trip in daily views, while "We Created The Funniest Billboards (Again)," featuring jschlatt and Slimecicle, supplies another active corner of Ted's archive.
