Rachel and Tom Sullivan are local celebrities around Raliegh, North Carolina. Their route to celeb status began in 2021 when they invited a college student to enjoy a home-cooked meal with them. Kevin Gallagher was seen on a viral Instagram post as he grabbed food with the Sullivans. When other students commented they wanted food too, Tom and Rachel said bring it on. They had no clue then that their generosity would lead to a wedding invitation, including their daughter.
The Sullivans and their daughter Sutton were treated like family at Christa’s wedding. The bride’s mother ran and got the bride’s old booster seat for Sutton! On the TikTok post about the event, they posted, “We gave their daughter a seat at our dinner table, so they gave our daughter a seat at theirs.”
Over the years, the Sullivans have fed thousands of college kids monthly home-cooked meals . After the first video with Kevin went viral, they put out an open invitation and had four college kids show up. Things grew from there. Any student with a college ID is welcome. They can eat there and take food to their dorms. One student even traveled ten hours from Ball State University for a meal!
Kevin has now graduated , but the meal tradition will continue. What began as an act of generosity during COVID shutdowns has become an almost monthly event. The Sullivans will keep cooking as long as the students keep coming.
The Sullivans have also written a cookbook, “ Meals She Eats .” The book outlines a diet that helps patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) because Rachel has PCOS. You can follow the couple on TikTok , Instagram , and their website . Please share this with students.
