My mom has also inspired me to be selfless. I cook for the enjoyment of other people. I love to see the smiles on the faces of people that enjoy my food.

Shrimp and Grits

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’ve dreamt of owning a Japanese/Southern food truck for the better part of 6 years. I would love for this to be a foundation for that dream!
