Inside the Food Studio Host

Tom Sullivan

Taste of Atlanta welcomes back Tom Sullivan as host of Inside the Food Studio. An Atlanta native, Tom entered radio immediately upon leaving high school. Tom hosted every show on WQXI then worked his way over to 94-Q, eventually landing the night show on the revamped Star 94 FM. Tom's personality allowed him to easily transition to the morning show with Steve McCoy and Vikki Locke where he entertained the masses on their morning commute.

While working in radio Tom became a host on NBC Television's "Atlanta & Company," a daily show he hosted with Holly Firfer. Tom continues to host many corporate, private and charity events in Atlanta and around the country including Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Tom strongly believes in giving back to the community and works with countless charities during the year. He says he is most proud of helping raise over $5,000,000.00 for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
