Who or what inspires you to cook?

I cook out of passion and the joy of seeing the look of enjoyment when people eat my food. This is how I relieve stress and the results are usually food cooked with a purpose.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all time favorite dish to make would be my meatloaf. It's a dish that never has any leftovers and if there is they don't last past lunch. Lol!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would open a burger spot in my small town with classic burgers,fries,onion rings,malts and shakes. Who doesn't love a good burger and shake?
