Who or what inspires you to cook?

My family.Especially my wife with the daily “ what’s for dinner? “ I remember the recipes my family made as a child and a young adult. I see recipes and I’ll copy them and add my own twist.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I have many favorites but I would say my homemade Italian style meatballs cooked slow in my tomato sauce.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d love to to start a food truck. I have a passion for cooking. I’ve already made shirts. lol. Double G’s Kitchen ❤️
