A True Masterbuilt Culinary Craftsman
Meet Thomas...
Thomas lives in Howell, New Jersey, and has been passionate about cooking since childhood. He began working in his mother’s restaurant, The Gallery in Woodbridge, at age 8, later moving from dishwasher to line cook and eventually to sous chef, where he helped plan menus and manage kitchen operations. In 1993, after his daughter was born, he bought his first grill, sparking the journey that inspired his YouTube channel, The Gallery Backyard BBQ. Thomas says the channel gives him everything he loves about cooking, without the stress of owning a restaurant: “Keep on grilling—life is good.”
