Who or what inspires you to cook?

My grandmother I would get up early on the weekends when all my other cousins and family were sleeping and help her cook, by 9 years old I could cook a full course meal.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Honey bbq wing because they are absolutely delicious and my friends and family love’s them. Dressing and all food related to the holidays my favorite time of the year.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My plan is to close the gap on food insecurities, by feeding thousands or even millions of children and families and under represented communities.
