Tom Reed, the "Garlic Guru"

What can I say? Garlic Chef (Guru) Tom Reed's show stinks! From one end of the country to the other he can be found chopping, mincing, smashing, crushing, and wielding his "garlic weenie" to peel and pulverize the fragrant bulbs that are the stock of his trade. For the last few years he has been wowing standing room only crowds with his humorous anecdotes, tasty recipes, growing tips and "bulb ball" games.

Garlic's amazing medicinal properties as well as its' delicious taste has led to its' ever increasing popularity. Increasingly, doctors & researchers the world over are confirming what the Chinese have known for 4000 years; garlic is an effective weapon against heart disease, cholesterol, parasites and many forms of cancer. It helps protect plants and pets from fleas, is made into soaps and shampoos and of course is an ingredient in innumerable delicious dishes. It is also fat free! What other plant can lay claim to so may attributes?

The Garlic Guru is always on the road extolling the wonders of garlic to all who will listen. His goal is to entertain while educating his audience about the wonders of this miraculous bulb. Tom began his public career as a "garlic chef" in Macy's Cellar in San Francisco in 1988. Since then he has made appearances coast to coast on a regular basis. From cavorting with Barney the Beagle on morning TV in Indianapolis to appearances with Garry Meier on the Morning Show in Chicago, the Crook & Chase show in Los Angeles, and Good Morning America. Home & Garden shows, medical centers, Flower Shows, Food shows, craft shows, Festivals, and Corporate Shows are just a few of the other venues Tom can be found preaching the Garlic Gospel. Always an upbeat, funny, informative, and wacky guest on both TV and radio, the Garlic Guru with his ever present garlic bulb hat is also very picturesque.
