Who or what inspires you to cook?

My daughter is my biggest inspiration because I love making her food and trying different ingredients that she loves to “taste” as I cook. Besides cooking she is my greatest love and food is the way to any one’s heart so I take it very seriously for her and my family.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Beef ribs and ribeye steaks on the grill of course. The beef ribs marinade for two days and it’s my family’s favorite so whenever I have a day off I make sure to make it special. I make a homemade bbq sauce and my wife calls me the steak master because I can cook any steak especially ribeye to perfection!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Invest in my daughter’s education and finally at the age of 37 be able to have a home to call our own. Years we’ve been apartment to apartment and the real dream is to have your own house so that my family can have piece of mind. My daughter is studying psychology and college isn’t cheap nowadays either so that would also be a way to help her achieve her dreams because she is my first priority. My greatest loves are my Jenna and cooking amazing food.
