TikTok Star Tini Younger Prepares Thanksgiving Feast with Celeb Fans

Tini Younger, a TikTok influencer who first went viral for her mac and cheese recipe in November 2024, is preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Younger has made a name for herself in the online food community, with users across the internet posting their attempts at recreating her signature dish and expressing their delight at the taste.

The chef has even caught the attention of celebrities, with Keke Palmer name-dropping Younger in a recent interview. Younger says she would be more than happy to cook a Thanksgiving meal for Palmer, as she "freak[s] out each time" she hears about the actress being a fan of her videos.

As for who Younger would most want to cook for, she reveals it would likely be Justin Bieber, as she's been a fan of the Canadian singer since she was in first grade. While mac and cheese might not be on the menu, Younger says she would lean into Bieber's background and prepare a "spin on some Canadian dishes, like some poutine" or a "maple Dijon, like roasted chicken or something."

In the lead-up to Thanksgiving, Younger has been testing new recipes, particularly "one pot" dishes that are easy for families and those who don't want to spend too much time cooking. Her content, she says, is ultimately meant to help people, as she has a history of being involved in charity work and volunteering.
