Yang filming one of her 'mukbang' videos, reviewing food from Sweet Chow. In just over two years, Yang has surprised herself by garnering more than 19,000 subscribers and 3 million channel views, making her one of the leading mukbangers in Minnesota. — Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS

A couple of nights each week, after her corporate 9-to-5 day ends, Tassie Yang does something very few Minnesotans do: She records herself consuming large amounts of food.

With a chatty, casual, girl-next-door appeal, she talks to the camera about the meal she’s prepared or purchased, then slurps and smacks her way through, say, 20 oversized oysters (which she prepared in two styles) or three pounds of seafood (King crab legs and tiger shrimp). She then posts the videos on her YouTube channel, Tassie Eats.
