A TikTok Chef Cooks Up Sizzling Success There’s more to Jon Kung than meets the eye — and the taste buds By Chris Azzopardi
I
f you’re one of the 1.7 million people following nonbinary chef Jon Kung on TikTok (@jonkung), you may have watched their food tutorials and felt as hungry as you did thirsty. Hungry because, recently, they made spicy beef dumplings that look mouthwateringly great, a recipe included in their new book, “Kung Food: Chinese American Recipes from a Third-Culture Kitchen: A Cookbook.” Thirsty because they sometimes enjoy their dumplings in just a swimsuit, like they have in the past on a paddle board going down the Detroit River. In the comments on a recent video of Kung preparing soba noodles without a shirt, one fan, who was clearly there for more than the food, wrote, “I’ve watched this 4x in a row and still couldn’t tell you any of the ingredients.” (Go back far enough in their feed and you’ll note that a simple gay white tank gets a lot of screen time.) No surprise then that “TikTok zaddy” is how queer outlet INTO refers to Kung, who is 40 and describes themself as a “Farmer Jack-era Detroiter.” But that label, while inarguably true (they really did love that tank for a while), is the main course, but definitely not the full meal. In a way you wouldn’t expect, their career in food started with a prospective career in theater, which they studied at Eastern Michigan University (EMU). TikTok is theater, of course. “If you look at some of the most popular creators, it doesn’t even matter what genre — could be food, could be engineering,
could be medical, could be law — it’s just a matter were already baking sourdough at home while of being effective communicators,” they say about sheltering in place, and now they could join Kung studying theater. “It helps you become effective as in making some of their TikTok specialties: Lion’s a communicator, and that’s why they do so well in Head Meatballs, a variety of tomato sandwiches this medium.” and dishes based on anime characters. Kung has undoubtedly done well — their impressive “Sometimes we need something beyond presence on social media, which became their language,” Cruz says. “Food can be an ultimate full-fledged career focus just a few years ago, in saving grace when it comes to expressing and 2020, eventually landed them a book deal through articulating who I am, in all the eras of my life, Clarkson Potter, a subsidiary of major publishing in those many moments when words fail.

In fact, you recipes formulate an architecture of belonging for might go as far as saying that TikTok more than so many of us during and beyond the pandemic; worked for them, and in a relatively short period. in finding themself they help us seek methods for “People who don’t really understand the art think finding our way too.” performance is lying when really it’s the complete opposite,” they say. “It’s the expression of a truth at Cruz wasn’t the only one connecting with Kung any given moment in time.” during the pandemic. In the early days of their TikTok launch, Kung’s followers grew exponentially, Kung’s own truth is conveyed with dry humor and with surges that ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 easy-to-love authenticity — the keys to success followers, sometimes in a single day. “It was wild,” these days — that has allowed them to carve they say. “There was such a huge, crazy dopamine out a space in the professional chef world, with rush of just watching these numbers go up.” a side of baked-in queerness that goes much deeper than queer desire. For example, in the “I started getting brand deals and major animeacknowledgments portion of the book, Kung raises based companies who had me on retainer for the bar for engagement proposals, writing to their content,” Kung adds. “I realized within a few weeks boyfriend-of-nine-years Jonathon: “Would you I made more than I had made in an entire year perhaps consider marrying me?” (Jonathon said both as a small business owner by myself and as a yes.) person who cooked on the line.” Kung initially worked at Detroit restaurants But long before the outro, there is richer context including Standby and the now-closed Gold Cash on Kung’s journey in the book’s introduction, which Gold and ran Kung Food Market Studio, a private encompasses the answer to what “third-world dining space in Eastern Market.

It all snowballed into something so successful even Kung can’t “As a third-culture kid, I grew up neither fully here completely wrap their head around it. nor there — I didn’t feel completely accepted as “It hasn’t really felt real, I guess, for a really long American or Chinese,” they write. “Personally, time,” they say. “Considering the fact that my time I see ‘third culture’ as being something that is in Detroit was so... it felt really rooted.

It has had a huge just transferring it to an online presence and then influence on art, literature, fashion and design, and having everything move and progress and change I would argue that it can also apply to food.” so fast. I mean, I’m still trying to come to terms with it.” Featuring recipes for dishes like Jerk Chow Mein, Recently, Kung took the book on tour, stopping in Buffalo Chicken Rangoons, and Hong Kong cities like Chicago, San Francisco and New York, Chicken and Waffles, Kung’s debut cookbook is a before returning home to Michigan.
