Tommy Winkler was consuming half a pack of rice cakes per day when he first became popular on TikTok for his "What I eat in a day" videos. He would chew thoroughly, nod, and look into the camera. According to the 21-year-old, "people love watching me eat food for some reason." Winkler initially emphasized American fast food in his food challenge videos. He now enjoys being more imaginative and playful with his food. While exploring new cuisines and cultures while traveling the nation and the globe, he posts videos about his adventures on TikTok. Winkler is seen dining by the water in Santorini, Greece. Winkler's favorite food challenge videos include those he's made with his loved ones or girlfriend, as well as those in which he spends a day eating only "Friends" and "Stanger Things"-related foods. Winkler recreates the scene in the "Friends" video where Chandler Bing and Rachel Green, two of the main characters, eat cheesecake off the ground. Winkler explains, "This one was just fun." Some of the scenes can be recreated using it. And those are the aspects that most people are unaware of. When I'm actually trying to replicate things like that, people mistakenly believe that all I do is eat and nod my head. Winkler recently undertook a challenge in which he spent the entire day eating meals with emoji themes. He cooked pancakes for breakfast. Although he could have stopped at just one butter-topped pancake, Winkler insists that he must go all out. He says, "I have to make the five-pancake stack with the kind of melting butter." "It simply must be perfect, or I must prepare the ideal burger or burrito to match the precise emoji. I must therefore visualize a lot of what is involved in it. Winker sketches out his obstacles the night before filming. He follows the same morning routine even though every day is different depending on the challenge. When Winker awakens, typically at around six in. m. — he works out as soon as possible. He then locates breakfast from there. Winkler will dash over if the breakfast menu at a restaurant runs out before a certain time. Additionally, if his day is filled with private meetings with his team, he will eat lunch at the same time and save it for later. Winkler spends his time coming up with new video ideas while also meeting with people to discuss products, brand deals, and other matters. By 5 or 6 p. m. , enjoys having his dinner prepared and his dessert ready to consume. "Normally, once it gets dark after seven or eight o'clock, I just sit down and watch TV and then, you know, back in bed by ten o'clock. m. the following day, and just kind of restart," he claims. After his second year of college, Winkler left to pursue a career as a full-time content creator. His aspirations are encouraged by his parents, Deb and Jon. Winkler claims that his family ensures that he is making wise decisions, particularly in terms of how much money he spends on food. Winkler at a Hawaiian luau in Maui. His mother claims that in order to run his business, he has had to learn a lot of skills, such as contract negotiation and financial management. He produces two videos every day, according to Deb. "People would assume that eating food is simple, but it's not. It's more difficult than people realize to come up with video ideas, according to Winkler. People mistakenly believe that they can simply choose a comment from your comment section, he says. Because I like to be creative with my videos, for me, it's more important to visualize an entire video when I see a comment. Humor is something I enjoy using.

Prior to his TikTok career, Winkler had never left the country; now, he has visited ten nations, including Thailand and Singapore, to sample the local cuisine. Along with his girlfriend Jessica Pappas and her family, he visited Italy over the summer. Winkler filmed a food challenge video there while he was there, wherein he spent the entire day eating the same foods as Pappas' mother. The previous day, he asked my mother, "Do you mind if I eat what you eat for the day tomorrow? " She responded, "Oh my gosh. She said, "I need to get ready for tomorrow," according to Pappas, who speaks to TODAY.
