We’ve seen several TikTok trends go viral overnight because they’re extremely relatable and easy to replicate. That happens to be the case with chaos cooking, the latest viral food trend that’s all about mixing unusual ingredients together to craft a cohesive new meal.
The main idea behind the chaos cooking craze is to take ingredients that you have at hand and combine them to create something amazing, even if they don’t typically mix together. Most people aren’t simply doing this on a whim, but out of resourcefulness and in an attempt to avoid food waste.

In addition to offering a practical way to use your leftover foods, chaos cooking will also inspire you to get more creative in the kitchen. This trend is all about expanding your palate with unique flavors that probably wouldn’t have even crossed your mind if you weren’t backed into a corner.

Like most trends to emerge in recent years, we owe chaos cooking to TikTok, but it’s actually been around long before this social media platform put it on the map. Even before we witnessed the emergence of such viral food combos as Big Mac pizza, Filipino spaghetti, and lumpia burritos, we’ve all created some messy food combos on our own, and we finally have a catchy term to describe this habit.
