Our Story

Two friends embarked on a journey that would reshape the way people experience food. From Montreal to the American South, they indulged in a rich tapestry of dishes and services, some unforgettable, others regrettably disappointing.

The idea of revolutionizing how people seek out exceptional dining experiences began to take shape. The founders envisioned a solution to help food enthusiasts discover the perfect spot for a romantic sunset dinner with breathtaking views or a cozy corner with impeccable service.

However, the most pivotal moment for their venture occurred during a visit to Nashville, Tennessee. They found themselves in a restaurant where the server seemed disoriented and couldn’t get their orders right. Mistakes piled up, as did the wait times. The manager’s resolution left them dissatisfied.

Their journey with Food Listy began with a stark realization. As they added hidden gems to their platform, they couldn’t help but notice that some places they’d loved for their food had sadly closed their doors. That’s when they knew that their mission was even more crucial.

At the core of Food Listy is a simple goal: they want exceptional businesses to not just survive but flourish. They’re here to help users find those dreamy spots they’ve been searching for. They’re on a mission to support remarkable businesses and ensure that their stories continue to be told.

With that commitment, a few months later, Food Listy was born. It swiftly evolved into a platform dedicated to food enthusiasts and quality businesses seeking the perfect match. The founders set out to create a haven where every dining experience was delectable, every service top-notch, and every bite a pleasure. Today, their journey continues, connecting people with memorable culinary adventures and steering them clear of culinary mishaps.

Experience

Hi there, I’m Gabrielle, and I wear many hats in the world of food, business, and more. It all started with my journey as an Instagram food blogger, a title I’ve proudly held for many years. I’m not just your average home cook; I’ve spent a decade honing my culinary skills. From grilling and roasting to baking and frying, I’ve mastered the art of preparing all types of food groups with a keen eye for flavor pairing and presentation.

When I’m not experimenting in the kitchen, I’m busy running a successful pet care business, and I’m thrilled to share that it’s BBB accredited. My love for animals drives my commitment to providing top-quality care for our furry friends.

In addition to my culinary and pet care endeavors, I’ve pursued my education in business and marketing. This educational background has been a driving force behind my success in various ventures.

With a decade of culinary expertise, a thriving pet care business, and a solid foundation in business and marketing, I’m a passionate entrepreneur ready to make Food Listy a unique platform for fellow food enthusiasts. I’m excited to continue my journey, explore new culinary horizons, and help you discover unforgettable dining experiences.

Passions

My passions in life can be distilled into a few essential elements: cooking, animal welfare, spreading happiness, and, of course, the joy of exploring new cuisines through travel. Let me give you a glimpse into what drives my enthusiasm.

Cooking is more than a hobby for me; it’s a creative outlet and a daily source of inspiration. The kitchen is where I find pure joy in experimenting with flavors, techniques, and ingredients. Every day presents an opportunity to learn, create, and savor the delicious results of my culinary adventures.

My heart has always had a soft spot for animals. This deep love led me to create a business dedicated to their welfare. This isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling and a commitment. It reinforces the values of compassion, care, and the unshakeable belief that we should do all we can for our furry companions.

Travel is another cherished chapter of my life. The world is a vast and beautiful place, and I find immense joy in exploring new corners of it. But what truly excites me is discovering hidden gems in the culinary world. I’m talking about those places that don’t actively seek the limelight but are absolute treasures when it comes to good food. These are the spots that make a quiet morning coffee or a cozy little eatery feel like home. And preserving their authenticity is a cause close to my heart.

More than anything, the time spent with my best friend and business partner is something I hold close to my heart. Without his unwavering support and our shared vision, none of this would be possible. We’re in this together, shaping Food Listy into a platform that celebrates the joy of discovery, good food, and unforgettable moments. It’s a journey I can’t wait to share with you.

Experience

My path to Food Listy has been quite an adventure, filled with diverse experiences that have shaped my journey.

I began my career as a Sales Analyst at a CPG company, delving into the world of Consumer Packaged Goods. It was here that I witnessed our sales soar, achieving a remarkable 30% growth in revenue.

Before that, I stepped into the financial world as a Corporate Actions Analyst, where I built a strong foundation in finance and investments.

In my entrepreneurial stride, I took a leap and started my own website design and SEO company. Over four years, we provided tailored online solutions to clients, witnessing a steady 20% year-over-year growth.

But it’s not just about business. I’ve also been in the kitchen, frying up delicious dishes as a “Bloom Boy” at Outback. My journey led me to college business competitions, where I secured wins and even had the incredible opportunity to pitch to the well-known sharks from ABC’s Shark Tank, Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec.

In addition, I delved into the world of digital marketing as an SEO Strategist, optimizing strategies for clients with revenues exceeding $50 million.

All of these experiences have brought me to Food Listy, where my diverse background and passion for food come together. Join me on this exciting culinary adventure!

Passions

I find joy in venturing outdoors, taking leisurely walks and embarking on refreshing hikes. It’s during these moments that I slow down, allowing me to contemplate and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings.

My life is infused with the excitement of innovation and idea generation. Whether crafting imaginative business strategies, exploring new dimensions in athletic and strategy games for unique enjoyment, or finding inventive approaches to daily tasks for enhanced efficiency, I relish every creative challenge.

As I explore these creative horizons, I’m also filled with enthusiasm for travel. Exploring new destinations, savoring diverse culinary experiences, delving into history, and admiring the sights all become integral parts of my adventurous journey.

Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, but it was my best friend who helped me discover a deeper love for these loyal companions. The joy and companionship they bring to our lives are immeasurable.

Above all, the time spent with my best friend and business partner is invaluable. Our shared goal is to infuse humor and value into the lives of others, and we’re thrilled about our plans for Food Listy. It’s an honor to share this journey with you.
