Who is your culinary inspiration?

Bobby Flay. Love his southwestern Tex-Mex vibe. He’s also very versatile and his presentation is always on point! I have been watching Bobby Flay since my uncle taught me how to cook on the grill!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Makes some much needed updates to our home.
