Hi, im\u00a0Gerardo Castro and the creator and founder of Backyard Grill Chef, if you don’t know already that i love to cook then you will very shortly.\u00a0 I was born and raised in Georgia (proud to be an Atlanta Braves fan btw \ud83d\ude09 ) and some of my fondest memories growing up were on a saturday afternoon when my dad would religiously\u00a0fire up the outdoor charcoal bbq and cook up a feast for our family (5 of us in total). I guess because of our Spanish\u00a0heritage its just our tradition to cook meat and lots of it lol.<\/p>\n
So now that i’ve\u00a0grown up (getting closer to 30 now) and have my own family i guess i an trying to recreate those memories for my own family. I’m not a professional chef by any means but i’ve\u00a0been brought up around food and cooking all my life and i guess i’ve somewhat inherited the cooking gene.<\/p>\n
Over the years ive\u00a0had some friends of mine ask me advice on BBQ cooking because i sort of do it all the time, to be honest, i actually enjoy sharing and helping people\u00a0with my style\u00a0of cooking which i learnt from my dad (and mom) so i\u00a0started this site so i could document what i was doing. As i got a little more momentum and some feedback i started to grow the site a little more with tips, product reviews, guides and just whatever else people were wanting to know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I really hope you\u00a0enjoy the site and feel free to contact me if there is anything you would like me to write about.<\/p>\n
Happy cooking<\/p>\n
