Chipotle’s is a mix of white cheddar and Monterey Jack. Moe’s seems like it’s the same now. It looks/tastes the same. Fucking sellouts.
Aioli is simply an emulsification of garlic + olive oil. Mayo is egg, mustard, lemon/vinegar, and oil. The word aioli appeals to a broader audience. But that's not really what it is. "Aiolis" are also easy to make because they're typically a mixture of heavy mayo and at least one other ingredient. it's semantics and everything is meaningless, etc. but that's always been a pet peeve of mine.
As far as TikTok food influencers go, I just really like @chefreactions. Otherwise, I’m all about Ina Garten the mf barefoot contessa herself
