There are tons of kids who discover their talent at a young age. However, it’s not every day that you see a baby pursuing his passion!
Meet one-year-old Kobe Wian, otherwise known as “Chef Kobe.” Despite only being a little guy, he’s already an internet star known for cooking up big meals in the kitchen (with the help of his parents of course). He’s been stealing people’s hearts one adorable video at a time.
Kobe Eats isn’t your typical “cooking show.”
You’ve likely tuned in to a cooking show or two before, or perhaps you do all the time. Yet, they’ve probably never featured a cherub-faced baby as the host!
Whether you need help with mealtime ideas or are looking for something to brighten your day – Kobe’s videos have it all. Just don’t expect him to explain all the steps (you know, since he’s a baby).

Chef Kobe’s mom and dad run his popular social media accounts, and they’re also his “kitchen helpers” too.
The tyke has a long list of meals he’s cooked with his mom by his side. He’s been filmed making various dinners, side dishes, desserts, and he even whipped up a yummy pizza. Kobe looks official in his red chef’s hat – not to mention, cute as a button!

Ashley Wian began cooking with her son as a way to help with his development, but quickly realized how much he enjoyed the activity. She told ABC News:
“We’re really practical with him and cooking was one of those things where it wasn’t even about the food at first, but learning and fine tuning motor skills. And the kitchen is the perfect place to do that. He would have so much fun — I recorded it and it just took off from there.”
Kobe is completely hands-on with each meal they cook and it does get a bit messy at times.
The baby takes on all the roles from spicing meats to stirring dishes. However, safety is always their “number one priority” according to mom.
Sure, Kobe likes to eat some of the ingredients along the way, but can you really blame him?
Like a real chef, he isn’t afraid to try new foods either (which can be seen in the videos). He even eats his veggies! Ashley shared with ABC News:
“Kobe definitely has an adventurous palate. He’s not afraid to try anything. We encouraged him to try different foods all the time and started when he was just 6 months [old] by trying a new food every day.”

The mini-chef wears a huge smile in his videos and has a joyful personality that’s contagious.
On top of Kobe being super adorable, the wide variety of meals might inspire you in the kitchen too. He’s made tacos, Greek turkey burgers, Menemen, pasta salad, veggie kabobs, strawberry shortcake, and so much more. Sounds amazing, right?
Kobe’s videos are making a big splash online and even celebrities are fans of the youngster (including Gordon Ramsay and Rachael Ray).
You can find Kobe Eats on Instagram, TikTok, and there is even a website with videos and merchandise. This kid might only be one, but it’s obvious he’s going places!
