Now, you finally can, as the social media app is creating its own restaurant to sell its most popular dishes. TikTok is a hive for all sorts of viral content. The popular app has spawned a slew of dances, songs, memes, and other trends that have taken over the internet this past year. Some of the biggest trends to come from TikTok are recipes. Remember the viral Feta Pasta that was storming the net a few months back? Now, it looks like viewers will be able to snag the pasta \u2014 along with a bunch of other trending food \u2014 without the fear of messing it up and wasting money on ingredients. TikTok to open up restaurants to serve viral recipes TikTok is moving from the world of social media to the world of culinary arts by launching TikTok Kitchens. In partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC), TikTok Kitchens will be a delivery-only meal service that ships your favorite viral foods right to your door. As first reported by Bloomberg, VDC and TikTok are set to open around 300 locations in the United States, with plans on expanding worldwide to 1,000 locations by the end of 2022.

Of course, one major tenet of TikTok\u2019s user culture is the near-constant surfacing of new trends and viral moments\u2026 so, naturally, TikTok Kitchens plans to rotate its menu every quarter. To start, though, TikTok Kitchens will reportedly feature the app\u2019s groundbreaking Feta Pasta, crispy Pasta Chips, the Smash Burger, and air-fried corn strips (called \u201cCorn Ribs\u201d). In a statement to the Verge, TikTok spokesperson Elena Saavedra claimed that creators will receive credit for their recipes and will also be featured \u201cprominently throughout [the] promotion.\u201d \u201cTo be clear, this is a campaign to bring TikTok foods to fans, not a venture into the restaurant business,\u201d she added. This marks yet another major venture from VDC into the influencer-food sphere, who saw major success with YouTuber MrBeast\u2019s \u2018MrBeast Burger\u2019 fast food chain in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
