Our Founder

Having served as both West Coast Director and Editor of Food & Wine magazine over 15 years, Jennifer Sommer had a front-row seat to the nation’s growing obsession with chef culture. Her unique background on “both sides of the masthead” and now the fast-paced world of social media, offers our clients extensive experience in story telling to build integrated programs and partnerships across print, social media, experiential marketing and more. She is renowned and sought after for her ability to spot up and coming talent and trends in the culinary space, whether for Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs program or discovering the next TikTok sensation. Not to mention, a knack for finding the next best place to eat.
