“Who is the Glorious Friend of Oblomov?” - you might ask. But you are unlikely to do it. Now Oleg Oblomov does not know the video blogger except for the one who does not like to eat delicious food, or a resident of the impenetrable taiga. The masses of men are known under the nickname Glorious Friend Oblomov. His videos gain millions of views, every self-respecting housewife writes his recipes, and even the most talented cooks of St. Petersburg are afraid of his detailed reviews.
A great cook, a harsh and incorruptible taster, a video blogger with a great sense of humor. This is how Oblomov can be described by anyone who has ever watched his video.
Biography of Glorious Friend Oblomov
The real name of the video blogger is Oleg Grigoriev. The man was born on March 28, 1989. The city in which the future "taster of the entire Internet" was born is still unknown. As well as information about the names of parents and their professions. Oleg prefers not to disclose this information, as he in every way protects his family and personal life from outside interference. This is understandable, because millions of loyal subscribers follow it every day. From the off-screen life of Oleg Oblomov, we only know that a man has an older sister and a half-brother. The father of the video blogger left the family shortly after the birth of the boy. Oleg was raised by his stepfather, about whom the man speaks very warmly and calls his dad.
As a teenager entering university, Oleg moved to the city known as the "Peter Creation." There he mastered a specialty in the field of architecture, successfully received a diploma, but flatly refused to work in this area.
In the biography of video blogger Oleg Oblomov, it is noteworthy that the man started a YouTube channel before monetization appeared (in 2010). Culinary videos were just a hobby for him, and freelance, the creation of websites, became his main source of income.
… And then oblomoff is born
As already mentioned, in 2010 Oleg decides to have his own YouTube channel. Not receiving any income from the videos, interrupting only with his extra earnings, he shot video on simple cameras while in the old kitchen. The picture, as well as the videos themselves, were really amateurish, but the charisma and charm of the then still young guy paid off. He was noticed, people began to subscribe to him. Subsequently, many brands related to the food industry began to offer cooperation to the blogger.
As for the pseudonym, he secured himself to Oleg during the man’s fascination with video games and therefore became the first blogger who came to mind. It is not surprising that in the age of social networks, the name Oblomov among young people is not associated with the hero of the book, but with a talented self-taught chef.
So-so culinary
Oleg Oblomov never called himself a professional chef, moreover, he focused on the absence of any culinary abilities. He even called himself "a so-so-so culinary expert, " but the man’s followers compare him to Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay. Perhaps because Oleg studied cooking with his audience, listening to their advice and absorbing information. As the channel grew, Oblomov’s experience also increased. The man gradually moved from basic recipes to complex culinary experiments.
Now the video blogger pleases its subscribers with both simple budget recipes and unusual dishes. In his arsenal is a cobra in soy sauce, a crocodile in kefir, smoked eels and a swordfish with potatoes. Agree, few Internet chefs are ready to try so hard for the sake of your favorite business.
Petersburg taster
Like any person who loves to eat tasty food, but does not have time to cook a lot, Oleg uses food delivery. “And tasty, and fast, and hot!” - this is how Oblomov describes his beloved “Count Krasnov” and “Butcher's Shop”. The man had to resort to restaurant delivery services so often that he came up with the idea of introducing Petersburgers to them.
It is worth noting that the video blogger is very demanding in relation to the food brought. It takes into account travel time, temperature, coincidence in weight and, of course, the taste of the dishes. Even the number of wipes and toothpicks plays an important role. The most common dishes that Glorious Friend tastes are sushi and pizza. Why? Yes, because this is the most familiar food for Oleg’s target audience.
Nowhere without collaboration
Like any video blogger, Oleg attracts strangers into his videos. Most often, Oblomov’s girlfriends and his friend Kostya, who is a professional chef, act as assistants. But not without collaboration with other well-known video bloggers. Among them, Andrei Nifedov, Dmitry Larin, Kuzma and others. The most frequent guest on Oleg’s channel is the infamous Yuri Khovansky. Together, men cooked royal burgers, champion breakfast, shrimp in marinade. In addition, Yuri appeared in Glorious Reviews, where he expressed his opinion regarding deliveries on a par with Oblomov. Despite the popularity of the invited guests, oblomoff channel subscribers note that they are much more pleasant to watch Oleg alone, because such videos are filled with the charm of Glorious Friend.
For sweet
Sweets in the fate of Oleg Oblomov assigned a special place of honor. The most popular videos on his channel were reviews on cheesecake.ru products, with which the man has been fruitfully cooperating for a long time. It was these video reviews that brought Oleg the greatest popularity and the influx of subscribers. Inspired by the desserts that were provided more than once for the sample, Glorious Druzh Oblomov created a separate playlist, which contains all the experiments of the video blogger. Naturally, the experiments are culinary and devoted to the preparation of unusual desserts. Here you can see multi-layered multi-colored jelly in a metal bucket, and a huge cake in my grandmother’s basin, and other heaps of sweets.
