Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Dad has been my inspiration. He was a food broker for Sysco and brought me to various food shows and events as a kid. I would come home and he would ask, "are you hungry?" He would whip up something that always satisfy any craving I might have.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Chicken riggies

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to use the money to finish my food truck. I purchased a box truck in need of repair and planned to fix it up myself. The winnings would turn into my dream truck!
