Chef David from The Trellis

Hello! I'm Chef David, the founder of The Trellis, where passion for grilling meets family-style cooking. My journey into the world of grilling began in my grandfather's backyard in the mid-1980s. Every summer, we'd gather under the shade of his old oak tree while he worked magic on his charcoal grill. Those childhood memories of savory aromas and family laughter around the picnic table shaped my approach to cooking forever. After studying culinary arts from 1999 to 2003 and working in several high-end restaurants throughout the mid-2000s, I realized my true calling was creating food that brings families together. Since establishing our family in 2006, our bustling household of four biological boys and three adopted girls (our most recent adoption completed in 2018) has made our dinner table the heart of our home—and sometimes a battleground when it comes to picky eaters! My wife Sarah, who grew up in a Mexican-American household with incredible food traditions, has been my partner in developing recipes since we met in culinary school in 2001. Together, we've spent the last 19 years mastering the art of creating nutritious meals our children actually look forward to eating. Visit us at https://thetrellis.com
