Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the ‘King of Crunch’ Tommy Winkler
We've never seen someone who's a bigger foodie than Tommy Winkler.
Tommy's TikTok page has over 7.1 million followers thanks to his love of food, with Tommy sharing everything he eats throughout the day and even participating in interactive challenges. He even came up with a personal challenge—which he completed just last month—in which he ate the most popular foods in all 50 states. Maybe next, we'll see him try a worldwide food tour.
Tommy has done everything from eating exotic jerky flavors to only ordering the third item on every fast food menu and eating nothing but Tommy's Burger Stop for an entire day. Basically, when we think of food, we think of Tommy and what he's eating next—and here's everything we learned about him as our latest Man Crush Monday.

Fun Facts:

5. Tommy loves a beautiful, sunny summer day.

6. Visiting South Africa would be his dream vacation.

7. Euphoria was his most recent binge-watch.
8. If he could pick anyone to be his mentor, he would choose his future self.
"I would want my future self to come back in time to mentor me through any mistakes that I might make in the future.

9. He can't stop recording content on his phone and posting it onto all of his social media platforms.
10. Tommy's competitiveness is core to who he is.
"I grew up with one sibling, an older brother by two years, so, with that, everything was a competition. Who's gonna do better, who's gonna be faster, who's gonna be stronger, who's gonna beat who? This makes me very competitive in everything that I do, so when it comes to social media, I use the competitiveness as motivation to keep posting every single day and to keep creative amazing content."
