In 2015, Tory Griffin started TG's Sweet Treats to showcase his talents in the world of baking and creating mouthwatering desserts. In the middle of the covid-19 pandemic, while brainstorming ways to meet the needs of his customers in 2020, he came up with the idea to display all of his chef skills by adding the - & Grill for his inspiring food dishes, that are a work of art.
