Who or what inspires you to cook?

Originally it was Julia Childs, I would wake up every morning as a kid and watch her shows on PBS.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

This is so difficult to choose from, but if I have to say a favorite or something i default to being homey for me would be steak rice and beans.

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25000, would be initial help to start my restaurant business. This is where every household would know my name.
