Chicago food blogger Chris Campbell, known online as chriscaresnone, posts videos of himself trying out foods from different cultures in order to help “bring the world together through cuisine.”
After trying out some Jewish food relatively late in the piece, Jewish people and stores starting sending him more food to try out – which he did and loved, and he became known as the “babka king” in no time.
Here are some examples of his infectious positivity.
You can guess what happened next.

Chris has unfortunately learned that the idea that the haters are “just anti-Zionist” or only have “a problem with Israel, not Jews” is absolute nonsense. And while I am sorry this has been his experience, he has become an important non-Jewish ally against antisemitism.
