The year 2022 seems to be even more of a fruitful year for reality TV show fans as many new shows are kicking off on TV. Even our Gordan Ramsey came up with a brand new cooking competition called Next Level Chef. Aiming to be the next evolution of cooking competitions, the new series launched on 2 January 2022 with the country’s very best line cooks, home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners, and everything in between. (Of course) Gary Marandola, whom we are about to discuss in the rest of the writing, is among them.

Needing to step away from what he calls the “toxic” Facebook environment, Gary started uploading comedic cooking videos to TikTok. At first, it seemed to go nowhere. But, everything changed when he decided to talk in the Boston accent while teaching people how to cook. The video went viral overnight and, on 19 December 2020, and Gary woke up to 12,000 new followers and more every day.
Then, one day more unthinkable happened. The producers from Next Level Chef, spotting Gary on Instagram reached out to him in July 2021.
Meeting the famous and one of his ideals Gordon Ramsey and Richard Blaze was indeed an exceptional experience of his life, Gary later shared.

How Much Is Gary Marandola Net Worth?
Gary Marandola had above an estimated $500K net worth as of January 2022.
Before pursuing cooking as a career, he worked as an event DJ, singer, and drummer, and always thought he would be famous for music one day.
Today, other than cooking, Gary has changed his profession to also being a full-time influencer, making his money from TikTok, Instagram, and brand partnerships. (of course) Next Level Chef also paid him for his time on the show.
Following the worthwhile TV debut, Gary says he will be expanding his dry rub business that he started before his TikTok days. What started with four flavors has already doubled, and he and his team are looking to produce a full line of twelve rubs. A little into details, Gary said he has two partners in Miami, Florida, who help him with the business. With their help, he hopes to use the money from the rubs as income while using social media as a promotion of his material. And in the long run, he would like to start by selling the rubs on Amazon and then seeing them in storefronts.
Gary, who also proudly voiced his support for Donald Trump, attended Sarah Dyer Barnes School, Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School, and Johnston High School.
