About Tom

Tom is a seasoned digital media professional who has worked in a variety of roles in the industry. In 2010, just for fun, Tom started a food blog called http://www.notafoodie.com . The blog has a steady readership and, after a few months, had began to be featured in newspapers, magazines, and TV shows. Among other things, the blog has lead to him eating pig brains in the back room of a popular Manhattan restaurant, drinking moonshine with various rogue chefs in New Orleans, and finally learning how to properly dry cure a hog jowl. Tom regularly host pig roasts that have featured fire eaters, bouncy houses, boozy soft serve ice cream, and the best apple cider marinated pig you’ve ever tasted. 

Tom also enjoys long walks on the beach, as long as there is a fishing rod in his hand and chum in the water.
