Who or what inspires you to cook?

I grew up cooking with my grandma. She was born in India. I learned to cook with many different flavours and styles. She was my inspiration to want to cook.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Smoked pork belly burnt ends. This is my sons favourite dish!

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000 I would get to start a food truck for the weekends. Then I could grow that into a brick and mortar.
