TIKTOK star Chef Reactions found fame on social media by reacting to other user’s recipes and foodie creations.
He claims to have worked in the culinary industry his whole life and is known to be pretty liberal with his cursing in each video he posts.
Who is Tiktoker Chef Reactions?
Chef Reactions is a social media personality who started posting videos on TikTok two years ago.
He currently has 3.6million followers on TikTok, and according to Wired is 40 years old.
The secretive star has a wealth of cooking experience – so he does know what he’s talking about when it comes to his content.
As reported by the outlet, he closely guards his identity because he has received death threats due to the videos he reacts to.
But the TikTok ace said his videos are purposely made for “shock value”, so he is confused by the threats he receives.
He went on to explain that he is forced to take them seriously because of his family, including his 88-year-old grandmother who he cares for.
He said: “I’ve worked in kitchens my whole life.
“I didn’t start this with the intention of becoming famous.”
What does Chef Reactions post on TikTok?
Chef Reactions content posting style is pretty clear – he reacts to recipes and foodie creations posted by social media users.
The videos are readily available because food-posting has become a hot-topic on the site and is trending often.
His first video was a pastry Chef Reactions reaction – it got 175,000 views when he first uploaded it.
But his second video received over two million views, and his presence online has increased continually since he started using the site.
Chef Reactions now has 3.6 million followers on TikTok and lives off the earnings from his videos, as well as three other streams of income.
He said: “I’ve been a chef for so long that it’s hard for me to think of what I do now as work, because I worked so very hard before,”

What is Chef Reactions’ net worth?
There is no official information on how much money he has banked from his new social-media career.
But Chef Reactions did hint that he is not yet “set for life”.
He also admitted, however, that he could take a year off to spend more time with his family if he wanted to.
He makes his money through brand deals, Patreon supporters and selling merchandise.
As a result, he is able to react to recipees full-time, without the worry of having to suppliment his income with a cheffing gig.
