In one of her most recent TikTok videos, Yi visits, Traktir, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California that’s served up Russian and Ukrainian comfort food to the community for 16 years.
Check out the popular clip above as she highlights some classic Ukrainian fair like traditional boiled dumplings called varenyky, and holubtsi, which are stuffed cabbage rolls.
The significance of this video lies in its spotlight on Ukrainian fare, right as the world watches the country face major crisis and acts of war from Russian invasion.
