John Mitzewich

Perhaps uniquely among Internet food writers, each of Mitzewich's recipes is split between the blog and the video instructions on his YouTube channel, with the exact written ingredient amounts and background information about the recipe being posted on the blog, and the method for preparing the recipe not being written but instead explained through the video on YouTube (which otherwise does not typically describe the exact amounts of all ingredients). As of April 2020, Mitzewich has over 3.4 million subscribers to his YouTube channel with over half of a billion views. Mitzewich has a content partnership deal with YouTube.
