    THIERRY’S INCREDIBLE CULINARY JOURNEY

    Leaving behind the lush greens of Africa, my journey towards becoming a food blogger was anything but easy. I faced several obstacles along the way, including the rise and fall of my own business, Winestyles. However, through it all, I remained determined and refused to let these challenges get in the way of my dreams. Even when I had to start over in the US with two young children, I pushed through and started a new career as a special education teacher. Today, I'm proud to say that I've overcome these obstacles and am excited to share my love of food with the world through my blog, GrillCulture.com.
