Who or what inspires you to cook?

Well at first it was my grandma but then after she passed away I just kind of took it and ran with it. It's always been a passion of mine. I love making people feel good and the best Way to do that is to fill their bellies with deliciousness. I've trained with several executive chefs and have learned a lot of things along the way. There no better feeling than to spread joy and happiness with delicious food!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My famous Green Chile Chicken Tacos! Or absolutely anything on the grill nothing beats a great grill steak!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Payoff some business loans and debts. Absolutely give back to my community by feeding the people. And then maybe a vacation haha yeah right! To much to do!
