Who or what inspires you to cook?

The joy that lights up a person's face upon savoring a well-prepared meal is a profound source of inspiration for my culinary pursuits. This visceral response serves as a testament to the power of food as a universal language, transcending barriers and fostering connections among diverse individuals. Each dish represents not merely a combination of ingredients but a tapestry woven from various regions, histories, and cultural experiences.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Lamb Chops in a wine reduction over blue cheese grits.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25,000, I would like to educate the younger generation on the culinary arts, emphasizing that food transcends mere sustenance—it embodies culture, tradition, and creativity. In today’s fast-paced world, many youths are accustomed to the convenience of heat-and-serve meals, often overlooking the richness of diverse culinary experiences, by facilitating a series of travel and cooking workshops designed to expose young individuals to various global cuisine and culture.
