Family is my first example. As with most others my grandmothers and female figures brought the passion out of me. Other chefs later in life show the dream is possible. Edward Lee, Grant Atkins. The late and great Anthony Bourdain being the most powerful example when I think about cooking and eating as a experience.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I do a stuffed chicken wing. Traditional pork dumpling filling stuffed into a de-boned chicken wing. Fry to golden perfection. Another is a dense vegetable stir-fry. Some ingredients stay the same, but the best part is picking new veg that I might not have worked with. Different colors and the high cook keeps the crispness and quality that my people love when I make it.
What would you do with the $25,000?Publish books (fiction novels and cookbooks), Begin to build a restaurant group in Tampa to hopefully grow a healthy culinary culture here.
