Who or what inspires you to cook?

Like many chefs, my biggest inspiration comes from my family - my mother, father, and both nonna’s. They taught me that food is more than just nourishment; it’s what brings people together

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

As someone with Italian heritage, my favourite dishes naturally revolve around classic Italian flavours. Spaghetti and meatballs will always be a staple in my kitchen, but I also love making a hearty beans and greens soup with my homemade sausage.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning this competition would be first step towards making my dream a reality -opening my very own good truck. The $25,000 would be an incredible starting point to bring my vision to life and share my passion for food with even more people
