Who or what inspires you to cook?

The person that inspired me to cook was my mother when I was younger she was a single mother working two jobs and still having time to make breakfast lunch and dinner for me growing up seeing my mother struggle that was hard so to help her out as a young boy I learned how to cook so she wouldn’t have to anymore and when one time came to it I had a passion in love for cooking I’ve never been in a competition but I am a fast learner and I can take criticism

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

A nice medium rare filet mignon topped with a mushroom cream sauce with grilled asparagus and coconut shrimp jasmine rice

What would you do with the $25,000?

with the 25,000 I would like advice from the chefs on the show on what is the best route to go I have never owned my own business but I’ve always worked in restaurants and I’ve always cooked for other people so why not do it for myself so I would open up a business or a food truck
