Who or what inspires you to cook?

I am inspired to cook by my cousin Lorious Rogers who has given my tastebuds a new reason for living! She is a Queen in the Kitchen and reigns supreme!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all time favorite dish is Gumbo obviously with some cajun kick to it. I flew to New Orleans to eat some original NOLA style Gumbo just so I can return home to duplicate the taste!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use part of the winning to upgrade my kitchen and the other part to COOK & have a FANCY super smorgasbord style fancy formal dinner for family & friends treating them to the meal of their lives with me as CHEF!!!
