TikTok’s ‘onion lady’ is going viral for scarfing down food combos no one else would try

by

Courtney Cook, a teacher and mother of four, is becoming popular on TikTok for her funny videos showing her eating surprisingly large meals – meals that might upset the stomach of the average person!

Cook’s TikTok is filled with unusual food combinations. She experiments with strange pairings like seaweed and cottage cheese, eggs with mac and cheese powder, and even soup dumplings topped with melted cheese.

She’s gained over a million TikTok followers by creating and sharing unusual but delicious food combinations, and her videos often get millions of views.

Cook frequently compliments people with statements like, “You’re the most interesting person I’ve ever met,” or, “I can tell you’re very careful not to waste food.”

This teacher is inspiring TikTok to try unusual food combos

Cook jokingly compared herself to a raccoon because she sometimes eats unusual parts of produce – for example, she once ate a leftover broccoli stalk along with seaweed and cottage cheese.

She says cheese is her favorite food, but she especially loves it with onions. People affectionately call her the “onion lady” because she’s so fond of them. In a recent video, she enjoyed an onion boil alongside her homemade munster cheese soup dumplings, and topped it all off with kewpie mayonnaise and spicy Korean buldak paste.

Beyond her popular videos, Cook has a fascinating hobby: she cultivates bonsai trees. She’s a dedicated enthusiast, even belonging to the Atlanta Bonsai Society and currently caring for a collection of seven trees.

A mother of four and married for 15 years, Sarah Cook somehow manages to create videos despite a busy life that includes homemaking, a full-time teaching job, and caring for chickens. It’s amazing she finds the time!

Her popular videos have encouraged people to experiment with her unusual food combinations. One viewer even playfully complained that she was responsible for the strangest order they’d ever placed with a food delivery service, late one night.

TikTok is buzzing about the latest food trend from Cook’s combos, following a controversial ‘toothpaste smoothie’ released by upscale grocer Erewhon in November. The new creation has sparked mixed reactions from food critics.
