Who or what inspires you to cook?

Smiles!!! I also have an intense desire to save this planet through reasonable and fair ratios of energy consumption. We must maintain a balance <3

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Whatever fits the days' weather, gloomy today is a shrimp & grits kind of love. I'm a big fan of braised game meats, nut garnishes, quick vinaigrettes/pan sauces and fresh cut herbs/berries or fruit*

What would you do with the $25,000?

10k to float me training my 1st employee while I finish my auto-hydro setup at farm. Outfit my tractor w 5k of farming equipment, close in my fridge and outside kitchen on the farm to prepare it for produce washing/ get assistance w social media and really work towards farm to table operations.
