Who is your culinary inspiration?To obtain information on all the best combinations of flavors to enhance and promote healthier diets. Food is killing Americans via many food related diseases such as diabetes. I want to produce a food restaurant that keeps all the flavor but will keep you healthy as well. I’m even more inspired to figure out how to complete the mission and make the food affordable. Specifically in 2026, where food is becoming more and more expensive.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would take 25,000 and pay all my licensing, and buy equipment needed to get operational and start making money with my current LLC. Also I would pay my personal credit off, to help my llc get business credit. I would also pay rent at a local kitchen so I can make food and store ingredients for sell at farmers markets etc.
