SnG with AB Bio

                    I always get the question, “How did your passion and love for food begin?” Food is deeply embedded in my family’s southern roots. At an early age, my mother bought me a Junior Cookbook, which came with about 20 kid-friendly recipes, and that’s where my journey into cooking began! However, this life-long passion started with my great-grandmother, who worked as a head cook in a hospital. She instilled into her family the importance of cooking for oneself, while my mother enjoyed holding get-togethers on weekends. Helping to cater to these get-togethers quickly became my primary responsibility. She and I would grill meats and cook a large spread for our guests. Although I’d rather be playing outside, I always felt proud to watch my family enjoy the food I’d worked so hard to prepare all day.

               Fast-forward to a couple of years ago, I began my YouTube journey and decided to call it, “Smokin’ and Grillin’ wit AB”. Originally, my focus was creating videos related to grilling and smoking meat, but I quickly recognized that I had a passion for making a variety of dishes and was lucky enough to be able to build a platform to share it on. My journey started (check out some of the early vids, click here) with making dishes on the road while working as a welder by trade. Throughout my years creating videos, the best part about growing my channel (besides the supporters!) has been learning and teaching at the same time. With every video, my target is to show you how YOU can Simplify These Recipes and Take the Mystery out of Cooking!
