Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Grandmother! Also being the oldest of 9 I had to help with my younger siblings and I was in the kitchen since I was 8 years old cooking.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I really don't have a favorite because I cook so many favorites! Some of them are Turkey Wings, Collards, Yams , Macaroni, smothered porkchops, meatloaf and my turkey spaghetti. I also love doing stir fry and specialty rices.

What would you do with the $25,000?

It would definitely go into my business and get me a food trailer and catering van. My 2nd choice is for me to buy what is needed to teach youth how to prepare basic dishes so they can learn.
