Hi, My name is Gerrae and I'm bougie.

Truly Bougie

I’m the definition of bougie. I dine for the lifestyle that I want to live because I like the finer things in life.

I brunch on Sunday's (after church at Central of course #praiseGod
I dont eat red meat
I'm a 20something millennial
I grind my own coffee for my french press
I drink sparkling water and raw juices
I live in a loft with my smedium fluffy puppy

THE WHOLE NINE.

Bougie with Balance

I grew up on the east side of Detroit with very little exposure to food outside of Detroit's 3 basic food groups and of course, soul food.

Chinese Food & Mexican Food & Coney Island

Although I no longer eat bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches, I definitely know my roots. I still enjoy grits with sandwich cheese, grilled chicken pitas from Coney Island, and lemon pepper wings.

Beyond being Bougie

I love all things food and all things hair. You'll always see me with a new hairstyle and trying new foods at groceries stores and restaurants. I especially love to try out new foods when traveling domestically and internationally. I've tried some wild things including whale, camel, and puffin!

I love the Midnight Golf Program (MGP). This program has really helped mold me into the woman I am today. MGP is out here changing lives. Donate here to make a difference in the lives of Detroit youth.

I love my boyfriend, A-A-Ron, who doubles as my camera man, my main supporter, my breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner date and my fearless taste tester.

I love my puppy, Knight, who wishes he was my taste tester but for now holds the title of cuddle king.

I love God with all my heart.

Becoming MORE Bougie

I’m the girlfriend who always knows what she wants to eat for dinner. I love trying new restaurants and I’m all things Detroit. I'm a software Engineer by day and a blogger by night. I started bougiefoodie in November of 2014 posting all original content and now I'm ready to take it to the next level!
