Who is Chef Rohan?
Rohan Hennebert – BBQ professional with 30 years of experience, Master Judge at the World Food Championships (USA), cancer survivor, and founder of Grill4Life. Dedicated to fire cooking that is authentic and healthier.
The American Barbecue Specialist in Europe
Rohan Hennebert is not just another influencer in the BBQ world. He is one of the very few professionals in Europe who can claim over 30 years of hands-on experience in American barbecue, both in the field and behind the scenes.
Trained directly in the United States back in the 1990s, Rohan traveled through the heartlands of BBQ—Texas, the Carolinas, Kansas, Tennessee—at a time when the internet didn’t even exist. He learned from the very best, cooked alongside them, judged their competitions, and joined the biggest American BBQ organizations such as the KCBS (Kansas City Barbecue Society) and the NBBQA (National BBQ Association). Today, he is a Master Judge at the World Food Championships in Dallas, working alongside American BBQ legends like Chris Lilly, Harry Soo, Lee Ann Whippen, Dave Anderson (Famous Dave), and Ray Lampe (Dr. BBQ).
In Belgium and France, he is the only one with such recognition from the American BBQ world, and the only one who has practiced this craft with such rigor and commitment: caterer, chef, trainer, restaurateur, author, consultant for major brands (Pit Boss, Louisiana Grills, Napoleon, etc.).
But this exceptional journey took on a new meaning after a colorectal cancer diagnosis, which deeply changed his vision of food, fire, and health. While others sell dreams on Instagram, Rohan now shares essential truths: how to cook on the BBQ without multiplying carcinogenic risks, how to combine pleasure with prevention, how to teach without compromise.
It is this unique expertise—at the crossroads of authentic BBQ, the science of cooking, and a powerful personal story—that gave birth to Grill4Life: a platform for everyone who wants to enjoy fire without sacrificing their health.
