About Tess Gittleman

Tess says her love for food is genetic. She grew up with a "stereotypically Jewish grandma" who instilled Tess with the foodie fundamentals. It was an imperative skill set to have since the cooking-gene skipped a generation and Tess ended up being the cook of her household. At 14 years-old, Tess entered the food industry, working all over the Twin Cities. Positions ranged from her first job as a bus-person, to Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern's Intern, to working in the kitchen of Design Cuisine Catering. Tess is the first person to tell you that you have only one food choice you ever really need to make, "Do you want to live heart-healthy or heart-happy? Because there ain't a lot in between."  Tess chooses the latter every time. After all, as she says, "If you are what you eat, why not be delicious?"
