Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration would be Gordon Ramsay. I liked his background story of how he became a chef and also how hard he works/worked to get to where he is now.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would save it to put towards opening up a restaurant or cafe of my own. This has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember and this would give me a head start in launching this/making it a reality.
