What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is jerk chicken wonton tacos dressed with a mango salsa and paired with a cilantro lime crema.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Aside from my grandmother who was one of the first people to let me in the kitchen… I really fell in deep admiration with Chef Milly from Philly! He’s been on 2 seasons of Hells Kitchen! I always loved his firey passion that equates to love for me. That’s how I give it up in the kitchen!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Invest in myself. My fiancée and I just recently got engaged and I’d love to put that money toward a beautiful home with a beautiful kitchen so I can continue to cook and make content for my supporters ♥️♥️♥️♥️
