Meet the duo behind Nom Life on Instagram and YouTube, a love letter to Asian food, family
Ewa and Jeromy Ko met while working at a Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, in the US state of Ohio. Ewa, who was 18 and waitressing, and Jeromy, a 20-year-old busboy, grew up in the food industry.
'My father worked in restaurants, and Jeromy's family owned a restaurant, so we've been in the food space since we could hold a tray without falling over,' says Ewa.
The couple, who recently celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary, are still in the business of food today, but in a slightly different capacity – one they could never have envisaged.
They are the creators of Nom Life, a
food and travel social media platform with more than half a million Instagram followers and 115,000 subscribers on YouTube.
'We feel so fortunate and never imagined that we would be here doing this as a career,' says Ewa via Zoom from New York, where the couple is now based.
