Who or what inspires you to cook?

I am inspired to cook by the many young people who I get to cook with who find joy, community, and fellowship in cooking.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all time favorite dish to make is macaroni and cheese. My signature butter pound cake is my favorite thing to bake. It literally melts in your mouth.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to help create culinary instruction experiences for young people that incorporated local chefs from the Baltimore community who desire to inspire the next generation of culinary geniuses.
