His most popular video on TikTok has 8.5 million views

According to reports, Stephen Austin is a retired box office worker who has no children or grandkids, so he enjoys time creating online content for his fans so that he doesn’t feel alone.

His most popular video on TikTok so far is a tutorial of toasted frozen biscuits which has approximately 5 million likes and flaunts over 8.5 million views. In the video, Stephen can be seen spreading butter and peach preserve on frozen biscuits simultaneously explaining the procedure to his audience in a simple way.

Stephen told international media that he wouldn’t say that he does real cooking, but he tries to do simple stuff, like toasting some bread and simple fare. He added that he never could have imagined having so many followers. He further added that Cooking with Steve just happened and people seemed to like it. He explained saying that most people on TikTok are the young people and they dance around or do some sort of physical stuff that he cannot do, so he cooks.
