Today on Local Whidbey with Magsy, we’re turning up the heat — literally — with one of the most entertaining chefs to ever land in the Pacific Northwest kitchen scene. You might remember him from The Next Food Network Star back in the day, but these days you’ll find him cooking up something even better — laughter, learning, and a whole lot of flavor — right here in the PNW.
Chef Tommy Grella has built a devoted following on YouTube with Home Cookin’: Chef Inspired Events, where he and his partner, the hilarious and insightful Maggie, turn everyday meals into chef-level experiences for real home cooks. Together, they teach, tease, and taste their way through approachable recipes — all while proving that cooking should never be intimidating, just inspired.
Tommy brings Boston heart, East Coast humor, and Pacific Northwest soul to his cooking — and when he’s not filming, he’s a private chef, fills pantries for those who live on and vacation on the Islands, cooks for those on vacation in our areas, and small events for folks all over the PNW Islands.
There are many reasons I chose Tommy to interview for this podcast. I’ve been chatting with him for several years now on Instagram DM’s regarding recipes, my Supper Club and just making a few of his stand outs, then posting them. He gets a real kick out of that!
Tommy and Maggy love Whidbey Island, as well as Anacortes. They actually serve all the Islands and shop here frequently as well. I can’t wait for you to meet this dynamic duo who make “home cooking” feel like a party with friends.
Let’s chat with Tommy and Maggie.
