Who or what inspires you to cook?

My wife & 3 sons inspire me to cook. Along with being able to show young African American kids that you don’t have to play a sport to be successful.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

It would have to be a toss up between shrimp & grits or Braised short ribs.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Whatever my wife tells me!! No seriously I’d give some to my church. Take my wife on a REALLY nice vacation & use the rest to further my business.
