I know, I know, I'm missing out. The platform has just never captured me, to be honest since I'm a Twitter (oh, sorry, X) guy through and through. However, the remarkably popular Owen Han —who has become known as the platform's "King of Sandwiches" — is someone whose dishes might convince me to spend more time on the platform. Angling all of his videos through a sandwich-heavy lens, Han's staccato, ASMR-influenced TikToks have racked up millions and millions of views. Now, he's releasing a cookbook, fittingly titled "Stacked: The Art of the Perfect Sandwich."

When I was growing up, I would visit my grandmother that lived in the south. She was from Gainesville and she would always make fried chicken on Sundays. I loved eating there. She would make Southern-style food, so like fried stuff, mac and cheese and I loved to help her. The love for it started very young. My mother was adopted and found her biological mother out on the West Coast. She was an Italian woman and was an amazing cook. She had a garden and cooked out there, she was a huge influence for me. Read more with Ford [here](~/AASU4wA~/RgRo7i1BP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNXBwcTM2N294Ny8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD13bTk4b2JjZXg3JmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmcFQagLZ7AtaNNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~).
