Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Grandfather, his love of food and helping others inspired me to become a better cook and man. He taught me cooking is essential to life and it isn’t a chore.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Coq au vin, I’ve made it for my friends a million times. I love making it and seeing the expressions on their face when they taste it. I love French cuisine.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my student loans, and then I would love to help my parents with renovations around the house. I would also love to save a portion for a car so I can travel more easily.
