Lanetria Washington, known as 'Auntie,' opened Auntie’s House Viral Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, last month. The ghost kitchen serves dishes that have gone viral on TikTok, including blue chicken wings made with Taki seasoning and pineapple spears soaked in Kool-Aid. Washington told 614Now that her nephews in the music industry request whatever is trending online when they visit. The Kool-Aid pineapple trend has also spawned the slang term 'Dat Bih Gah,' which Know Your Meme explains is becoming a popular meme and phrase.
