Trying to make ends meet selling plates and a chain was created. Everyone loves Tootie’
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I love to cook ALL foods i dont think theres anything i can not master, i was blessed with the SAUCE! But what made me boom in my town is my savory birria tacos they are definitely one of a kind my second favorite thing would probly be ANY soulfood.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would finally be able to have a location for my customers to sit at and enjoy the food they love. I would finally catch a break i have been struggling in this real world trying to make something out of nothing i am very determined and hard working i will make great things happen with 25,000. I would make alot of people happy by finally being able to have my own location, being that right now i work out of my commissary and only have togo as a option.
