Who or what inspires you to cook?

I’m inspired by the joy food brings to people, the rich flavors of diverse cuisines, and the challenge of turning simple ingredients into unforgettable experiences. Cooking is my way of creating connections and lasting memories.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all-time favorite dish to make is soul food because it’s rich in tradition, flavor, and love. Dishes like mac & cheese, collard greens, and smothered chicken bring comfort and joy, creating a sense of home with every bite.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win the $25,000, I would invest in a food truck—turning my dream into reality. I want to travel the world, bringing incredible flavors to new places and taking people’s taste buds on an unforgettable journey
