Meet the AntiFoodie
I’m not a foodie.
I don’t even really like food. I really just eat so that I don’t die. My friends call me a “plain eater,” meaning I don’t venture too far out of my comfort zone and whatever I order usually comes with special instructions.
The catalyst for changing that is my wife. She enjoys good food and can appreciate flavors that I just can’t, and in turn I get dragged to all kinds of random restaurants I would never have considered going to.
Why this site exists
Following my adventure into non-picky eating
I started this site as a way to follow my adventure into the world of non-picky eating. My wife and I have been together for years now, and I’ve already ventured way out of my comfort zone, but we’re still trying things I never thought I would try, making things I never thought I would make, and I’m actually starting to take an interest in food in general.
So we’ll see how it goes…
If I didn’t like the food or the restaurant we went to, I will tell you.
What you’ll find here
Restaurant reviews, and anything else food related
Restaurant reviews, product reviews, tips on making food at home, recipes, travel, and anything else related to food (and sometimes drinks) that I find time to write about.
About the photos
No studio lighting, 100% authentic
What you won’t find on this site are quality photos of the food I eat, unless it’s something we made at home. A lot of food blogs have well lit, nicely composed restaurant photos, but I refuse to bring a DSLR, or even use my phone flash, in a restaurant for the sake of a nice picture. I get super annoyed by people using their flash to take photos of their food in restaurants, so I’m not going to do that to other people.
So I apologize for not having the greatest imagery, but at least the images you see are 100% authentic.
The honesty policy
No biased reviews
- Unless otherwise specified, I pay for all of the products, restaurant trips and food reviewed on this site.
- If a company sends me something for free or pays me to review it, I’ll say so in the first paragraph of that review.
- I will never review something positively just because I got it for free. You’ll get my honest opinion no matter what.
- I will never reach out to a company asking for free products or food. The idea that “influencers” deserve free stuff in exchange for “exposure” is ridiculous.
- Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy through one, AntiFoodie may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and it never changes what I recommend.
It’s just my opinion, so take it as you will, but it will always be an honest one.

Email tom@antifoodie.comI can’t promise I’ll like your food or drink, but I can promise I’ll be 100% honest in what I write. If you’re not comfortable with that, this isn’t the site for you.
