Tess is the former Executive Editorial Director of Serious Eats and digital director of Delish. At Delish, she created, produced, and hosted ‘Iconic Eats’ and ‘Slightly Kosher,’ the site’s all-time most successful long-form video series. You can find them on YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Snapchat, and IGTV.

She’s also the author of The Best Damn Answers to Life’s Hardest Questions, which has been featured in Seventeen (“illustrations that’ll make you feel SEEN”), Cosmo (“super-fun collection of adorably illustrated flowcharts”), House Beautiful (“It wipes away the veneer of perfection and just got honest about the things that keep us up at night”), as one of Barnes & Nobles’ chosen “Books to Amuse and Delight,” and more.

She’s a seasoned ASME-winning writer who has reported on everything from pop culture to politics to viral nonsense to, well, a lot of fucking food. Her job is to identify what people online want to read and watch and create content for them in a digestible, fun, and funny way.

She will launch a new YouTube channel and series (as well as a Substack) in March 2025.
