YouTube personalities expanding beyond their horizons and dipping their toes in different avenues and businesses, has been a trend for a while. While, YouTube’s top dog, MrBeast, is the first name that people have in mind when it comes to creator-made food brands, YouTube Veteran David Dobrik is also in no way lesser than him.
When it comes to OG vloggers and prank video creators on YouTube, David is one of the top names. Although he made his name and brand by uploading content on YouTube, Dobrik’s Pizza Parlor Doughbriks has been posing serious competition at stealing his limelight. With an overnight success, the pizza parlor is gaining a lot of attention from fans and social media trends.
According to the LA Magazine, the opening day lines in front of the restaurant were too long that they reached the busy Sunset Boulevard. But who was the inspiration behind the influencer’s sudden turn to the food industry? The answer is a particular hot-headed chef who likes to make “dumb sandwiches” out of people.
