Who or what inspires you to cook?

Family! The satisfied and happy faces I see when eating a meal I cooked. Constant obsession to be the best! Being an artist and with a medium, the plate is my canvas and the food is my paint! Being able to teach others to give a better life for themselves and their family. No BS!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Gorgonzola crusted N.Y. strip, truffle mashed potatoes, charred lemon garlic broccoli, slathered in a mushroom cream sauce garnished with crispy shallots!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off some debt that effects my family, donate a little, buy a car so I didn't have to borrow my father-in-law's, have a bit of fun!
