Albert Cancook

Albert Cancook is one of the biggest cooking channels on YouTube, and almost all of it happens in Shorts. The format is always the same: no talking, fast cuts, music, and a dish that is half recipe and half joke. Burgers are the backbone of it, usually spelled “Burgar”, and the Big Mac in particular has been rebuilt on the channel as a hot dog, a burrito, a taco, a shawarma, a sub, sushi and a double-meat Bai Big Mac from McDonald’s Japan.

The other half of the channel is food from cartoons and games: the King-Size Ultra Krabby Supreme from SpongeBob, the UltiMeatum from Regular Show, the El Burdigato Supreme from Teen Titans Go!, and a Simpsons Good Morning Burger. Albert also collaborates constantly, with Bayashi, Nick DiGiovanni, Joshua Weissman and a long list of other creators, including this site’s own channel.

Where the short needs it, the description carries the actual recipe, like the Big Mac sauce, the In-N-Out spread or the Popeyes-style marinade, so the thirty-second videos are more usable than they look.
