Who or what inspires you to cook?

The relationships you develop with total strangers who can have a common passion for great food is a wonderful start to that answer. The next part of that answer is driving beyond the 3rd dimension of flavor and delivering the best possible culinary experience for my guests and family as possible.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I learned the ways of Thai comfort food from a wonderful couple who run a very successful local restaurant. I absolutely love to make Drunken Noodles! It’s so hard to answer you it’s like picking your favorite child. I am also absolutely in love with making Tiramisu.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want to start a business in my community and use it as the building block to grow. I want to feed children and seniors as well as offer affordable housing and business startups so other people can help their country roads eat hot meals.
