Who or what inspires you to cook?

My love for feeding people. Keeping people fed and happy is what bring me purpose and joy in life.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Talk about a hard question! I would have to say surf and turf. There’s so many variations and takes you can do with it, I can be creative and still cook a delicious meal.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Replace my car
