Who or what inspires you to cook?

I love to know that people are enjoying the things I create. To hear the silence after so much talking while guests are savoring each bite. I love to cook because I know I can go a whole lifetime and know there is always some knew dish to learn

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Everyone knows me as the oyster guy and i have a lot of crazy oyster creations, but when it comes to the kitchen I'd say my herb crusted rack of lamb and grilled octopus

What would you do with the $25,000?

I currently run a catering company and this would allow us to buy new equipment and be able to start a cool marketing package. Being able to reinvest in the catering would be a big help for the growth of the company
