What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is a mojito lime chicken with coconut lime rice with a citrus glaze and roasted veggies

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Growing up my family would have bbqs and our church would have Wednesday night dinners and occasionally banquets which I was a part of and helped cook along side my dad. I love cooking. I also got hooked on watching Food Network and a lot of my favorite chefs on their like Carla Hall, Jet Tila, Jonathan Sawyer, Mei Lin and the list goes on. Watching Chopped I would try things from home as well.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have been through a lot the past 2 years that the $25,000 would help tremendously. My health has not been the greatest. And I have lost a lot. This would pull me out of debt and help me get a car and possibly help get me get a food truck going.
