Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration happened over 50 years ago with my paternal grandmother Alice (Honey). I would help in the making of our Lebanese dessert as it always was a family tradition for most special occasions .
What would you do with the $25,000?I would share some of the money with my three sons who volunteer to help me when needed, donate to some of the volunteer organizations I have committed too and upgrade a few of my business supplies.
