Who or what inspires you to cook?

My grandmother was my inspiration when I was little and then I started working at an Italian/American restaurant and it reminded me of my dreams and love for Italian food and it’s aromas.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Nothing in particular any pasta or chicken dishes, raviolis really anything as I believe all dishes have their own soul.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will be donating 100% of the proceeds back to my community needs!
