Food Influencer Joe Is Hungry Says He’s Shocked His KFC Review Went Viral

An influencer who’s basically the Steven Spielberg of food review videos went viral for a KFC review … a shocking result for a segment he thought was so bland, he almost didn’t post.

Joe Desaavedra, AKA Joe is Hungry, tells TMZ … he’s baffled his review of KFC’s popcorn chicken has racked up more than 17 million views on X alone … because he thought it was nothing special.

Before his KFC stop went super viral, Joe built a respectable audience in the crowded food reviewer space by taking his duties as seriously as a heart attack … and filming his fast food truth as if he were freaking Christopher Nolan.

Joe has over 100 food reviews posted online … but for some, the KFC clip spread like wildfire.

But don’t worry … Joe tells us he won’t let 11 herbs and spices magic go to his head — he’s going to keep doing brutally honest reviews — and hold fast food joints’ feet to the fire!
