Already a pretty successful social media contributor, the 26-year-old’s TV appearance sent his accounts into the millions of subscribers, allowing him to focus on producing online foodie content full time. It even even led to a recent move to the UAE where, since the leap, his Instagram numbers have swelled to over two million and Facebook followers north of three million. ” KhaleejTimes
