Who or what inspires you to cook?

Having a big family and friend circle has been a major inspiration for continuing to cook and learn from the people around me.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I like using techniques like smoking, fermentation, pickling, and low and slow cooks to build an extra level of flavoring you can’t get when you have to rush a cook.
