Who or what inspires you to cook?

I started cooking with my grandfather as he was a cook in the 60’s. A good meal and a warm fire bring people together and get people who maybe wouldn’t talk to acknowledge one another.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Southern gumbo/ etoufee. Paella / any coastal Spanish or basque dish.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to invest in furthering my knowledge so that I could travel the world and taste years of cultural food.
