60 Men Who Cook—Try 9-Year-Old Tommy Antonson's Homegrown Goulash

For the first time in 60 Men history, we have an aspiring elementary student chef.

is a third-grader in Mrs. Glitz’s class at and has been cooking for three years, which if you do the math, means he was in kindergarten when he started. He loves to watch the chefs on Food Network Channel.

About once a month, Tommy has the opportunity to cook for his family, and on Friday, May 6, will be cooking one of his specialties: goulash. He hopes to use tomatoes from his garden in the recipe. 

When asked why people should vote for him, Tommy said “only vote for me if you like my goulash.”
