What would you do with the $25,000?My parents built The Ponderosa—a home where anyone could get a hot meal, good convo, and a dope vibe. They charged me to ‘keep the party going,’ and with this $25K, I’ll do just that—feeding, housing, and uplifting those in need while creating a space for food entrepreneurs to thrive. This is bigger than a competition; it’s about legacy, love, and making sure no one is left behind.
