Culinary Content Producer | Food Media Personality
From a toy oven in her father’s trailer in Reno to the bright lights of national television, Monti Carlo’s journey is the recipe of resilience, flavor, and fire. With a spatula in one hand and a story in the other, Monti has cooked her way into the hearts and screens of millions—proving that food is more than sustenance; it’s a language, a culture, and a calling. A bilingual culinary force fluent in both English and Spanish, Monti carved her place in the food and media landscape with over 12 years of experience as a content creator, host, editor, and producer. Her kitchen isn’t just a space—it’s a studio, a stage, and a newsroom rolled into one. Whether she’s styling recipes, producing digital shoots, writing SEO-rich content, or hosting national broadcasts, Monti does it all with precision and passion. She’s currently the Lead Culinary Content Creator at Sinclair Inc., where she crafts mouthwatering video scripts, hosts engaging food content, and styles recipes to perfection—all from her remote kitchen in Los Angeles. But that’s just one dish on the menu. As Editor-in-Chief at Pleroma Media Inc., she reinvented the voice of Food World News, increasing site traffic by a sizzling 380% in just three months. She manages editorial calendars, leads freelance teams, and ensures every bite of content is served with storytelling flair and SEO finesse.
Monti’s freelance career is a feast in itself. She’s developed and styled recipes for California Dairy Council, PBS, KitchenAid, Quaker Oats, Corona, Gordon Ramsay’s Studio Ramsay, and ZENB Pasta (where she serves as Chef in Residence). As a food writer and editor, her work has appeared in Bon Appétit, The Washington Post, The Spruce Eats, and Budget Bytes, blending journalism and gastronomy in the most flavorful ways.
But Monti doesn’t just write about food—she brings it to life on screen. She’s co-hosted Best Bite Wins with Josh Peck on Roku, competed alongside Antoni Porowski in Easy Bake Battle on Netflix, and led PBS shows like Let’s Eat Healthy Together and Nutritious Bites. Her digital series #savethefood boasts over 50 million views, and she’s been a trusted contributor on NBC’s Today Show and ABC’s Good Morning America.
Beyond the camera and the keyboard, Monti’s cooked for crowds of over 1,000 at festivals across the U.S., including Saborea Puerto Rico and the Vegas Bar & Nightclub Show. Her live demos combine culinary technique with comedic timing, making her a fan favorite at every event.
In 2026, Monti will add “published author” to her growing list of achievements, with Spanglish, her debut cookbook, set to hit shelves via Simon & Schuster. The book is a love letter to her roots—a blend of Latin flavors and American classics told through personal stories and vibrant recipes.
Monti Carlo isn’t just a food media personality—she’s a movement. From editor-in-chief to TV host, recipe developer to culinary strategist, she’s rewriting the rules of what it means to be a storyteller in the kitchen. And if her story teaches us anything, it’s that where you start doesn’t define where you’re headed—especially if you’re fueled by flavor and fearless ambition.
