Who or what inspires you to cook?

My dad teaching me to make biscuits and gravy from scratch inspired me to learn cooking. It inspired me to become a chef and that has extended to me teaching others!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all time favorite dish to make is my own style and take on Chicken Alfredo. It's also a fan favorite from everyone who has tried it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would open up a food truck and get started on my dream of owning a restaurant!
