Barfly, who has never disclosed his real name or revealed why he spends so much time in hotels, has gained more than 65,000 followers on the video sharing platform.

He has found TikTok fame by sharing a whole host of culinary shortcuts which include some very interesting techniques.

One of his most popular clips, which has been viewed more than four million times, sees him sous vide-ing a steak in the toilet.

It begins as he boils some new potatoes on a portable stove which he has placed on the counter next to the hotel sink.

But things take a turn when he takes the lid off the toilet cistern and places his prime steak inside before using a heating device to warm the water.

He whips up some garlic, shrimp and butter before mashing together with the potatoes by hand.

Barfly then retrieves the steak from the back of the toilet before emptying the packet onto a fresh white hotel towel that gets covered in fluid from the meat.

He seasons, flash sears and tucks right into the unorthodox concoction.

In another video, viewed more than 3.4 million times, Barfly cooks baby back ribs from another hotel bathroom.

The chaotic cook removes the outer plastic packaging before pulling off the membrane with a white towel as blood splashes onto the wall.

He rubs seasoning into the cut of meat with little regard for cleanliness.

Then, in another bizarre twist, he places the meat inside a pillowcase, positions it on the hotel room’s ironing board and uses a hairdryer for seven hours to cook it.

He even bastes the meat with honey and adds corn on the cob and a jacket potato as sides.

Barfly’s other recipes include fresh fried chicken, ravioli and jerky – to name just a few. 

But social media users have been left fiercely divided in the comment section of his videos.
