Who or what inspires you to cook?

Watching my dad prepare Southern dishes really inspired me to cook as well. Seeing is believing!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

So it is a tie between sautéed okra and shrimp or my famous Lowcountry Boil.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely buy a food truck and let the world know the best kept secret 🤫
