If you've seen it on TikTok, there's a good chance we have too! And right now, trending TikTokker Samatha Huot (@yumlabels) has all of our attention.
The social media star recently went viral on the platform after sharing her video series "Foods of the 50 States." In the series, Samantha takes TikTokers on a culinary road trip, offering a brief history lesson on each state while whipping up an original recipe that represents the food associated with that state.
What started off as a random idea in June ended up becoming a passion project that ultimately earned Samantha a total of 2.5 million likes and well over 100,000 followers.
After completing the series on October 12, Samantha spoke with ThePioneerWoman.com about her experience, noting that the idea for the series came to her after a family trip to Florida.
"Usually when I travel, it's a lot of finding what the city [and area] means to people who live there," Samantha said. "I love going to museums, learning about the history of city that I'm in. Even taking a stroll downtown, seeing what the night life is like."
"Of course, being such a big foodie, I love to try the must-have restaurants or meals," Samantha added.
It wasn't long before her "Foods of the 50 States" series was born and started to grow a devoted following.
"I had no idea how passionate people were going to be about the recipes I put up," she said.
In her video for Pennsylvania, Samantha created a traditional chocolate pretzel cookie recipe while sharing about the state's history of pretzel making. The crowd on TikTok went wild.
"Stanley from The Office would be so proud. Please do Vermont next!" one user commented.
"I'm a Pennsylvanian, and I gotta say, those cookies look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS," another chimed in.
Samantha says the TikTok series was a fun way to escape the monotony of her daily routine.
"It was a grind, but I wanted to see what the outcome would be if I just stuck with it, and it's clearly worked out," she said.
Samantha has since wrapped up her series, and released a cook book that features all the recipes she created along the way.
