On August 10, 2019, Conte uploaded his first video titled “When bae won’t kiss you,” which was him mocking the viral “baby girl chill” meme.

While Conte’s videos gained a decent amount of attention, it wasn’t until January 1, 2020, when he found his niche in his first episode of The Angry New Jersey Cooking Show, which later became a regular series.

The two-year-old video has since amassed over 5.2 million views, with fans reacting in many different ways.

“I love you. I’m Italian and when you said “al dente” I felt it,” one commentator stated.

“He added no seasoning. A pinch of salt and black pepper doesn’t make food taste good. I’m confused,” another commented.

“He makes it look bad but it looks actually good,” one user said jokingly.

Conte has since branched off from just cooking past but also reviewing world-class restaurants such as Nobu and Hell’s Kitchen.
