What is your signature dish?

I don’t have a favorite dish, i love a challenge… like cooking your favorite meal & making it unforgettable!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My kids know this story like the back of their hands, growing up coming home from school my mom either had chicken or pork chops, pork chops of chicken, with a side or two no in between, May she rest in peace, and watch over me in love knowing she made me my kids “Favorite Chef”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay a lawyer to expose a nonprofit organization who is actively mis-using government funding, Get them shut down& place a town chow hall and re-habilitate domestic violence victims who are being looked at as a number and not a factor , take myself through culinary school and become the head chef of every meal prepared by a team who does nothing more than love to serve their community!
