Bistro Huddy has never served a single customer.
But the fictional restaurant created by Drew Talbert has amassed 4.5 million followers and 252.9 million likes on TikTok.
After coming up with the idea for Bistro Huddy in 2020, Talbert — a longtime server — and his wife have been able to quit their jobs to focus on growing their online brand full time. In addition to creating POV skits about what it’s like to work in a restaurant, Talbert earns money by selling Bistro Huddy merch, Patreon subscriptions and creating brand-sponsored content.
“We put ourselves in a financial situation we could have only dreamed of five years ago,” Talbert said. “We went from month to month, barely scraping by, to now be[ing] able to save for retirement.”
From his nine streams of Bistro Huddy-related income, Talbert said he earns in the “upper six-figures range annually.” With the money he’s earned, he and his wife have been able to become homeowners.
