Who or what inspires you to cook?

I was raised by a single mother and grandmother who made sure that I knew my way around the kitchen. I owe my love of cooking to them.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I'm Jamaican-American, so any dish that allows me to incorporate some Caribbean flavors.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to open a small boutique restaurant that I can one day pass onto my daughters.
