Bryony Grealish is a food influencer, speaker, trainer, No Thumbs Chef Challenge show host, and is the owner of The Fingerless Kitchen, LLC. A Syracuse native, Brie is a wife and mom to two vibrant, sweet boys. 

She was born with a rare genetic condition called Ectrodactyly. Bryony uses her disability as a tool for change, showing the world that you don’t need thumbs to cook. The Fingerless Kitchen is changing perspectives and beliefs on what you thought was possible!

The goal is to inspire people with disabilities to learn how to cook. Bryony is taking her passion for cooking and creative problem solving to the screen. She wants to show everyone that our limitations are opportunities to do something different and unique, encouraging people with disabilities to find courage in their kitchens and turn their skills and dreams into a business.

Brie is a WISE Women’s Business Center board member in Syracuse, NY. In addition, she has been featured in an impressive array of local publications and shows. Including a television interview with WCNY Move to Include Initiative, a Cover story for the Syracuse Women Magazine, Syracuse’s Bridge Street morning talk show, CBS News 5, Street Talk on 93Q, and more.
