Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Mom, my Wife, and countless other wonderful influences on not just my cooking, but my life in general. I'm so grateful for them.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

One of my favorite things I've ever made was during the pandemic. My wife and I made a burger au poivre and it was PHENOMENAL.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off our car, and put the rest towards opening our dream restaurant honoring my wife.
