Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Grandfather inspired me to become a grill cook and I took on the family tradition of grilling for family functions then I took it a step further getting in to restaurants and becoming even better at my craft and cooking brings me joy of seeing smiles on everyone’s face while enjoying the food I prepared .

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Smoked Ribs with potato salad and baked beans

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the 25,000 to help get my family a step ahead in life and open a small restaurant or food truck!.
