Raised in Palo Alto CA during the internet revolution, a lifelong entrepreneur, Thomas Hillard has a strong passion for finding the perfect food & drink experience and believes technology can solve the problem of connecting eaters to the fate of finding the best places on earth to eat and drink.

A freelance writer and recipe developer with magazine, newspaper and online experience, I've covered topics including food, lifestyle, health, travel and more. My articles have been published in The Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago magazine, Time Out Chicago, LAWeekly.com and Culinary Trends magazine, among others. An avid food blogger, I regularly develop recipes for my website La Vita Cucinare (katherinesacks.com).
