The story of Grill Charms & founder, Leslie Haywood, begins with a simple mistake of meat off the grill. As year round grillers, Leslie and her husband have a love for tasty marinades, rubs and sauces. Leslie describes “I like to walk on the mild side, while my husband likes everything blazing hot. He proceeded to make some spicy jerk and some mild. He had forgotten which chicken was which.” You can only imagine where this led to… =)
Something that we found very special about Grill Charms and their products is how they involved Leslie’s fight with breast cancer (in 2006, Leslie was diagnosed with breast cancer and forced to have a bilateral mastectomy) by offering a Pink Collection of charms. These charms include several symbols for women along with the internationally recognized “Pink Ribbon.” We love her support for other women experiencing what she went through =)
