What is your signature dish?

Stuffed shells

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Anyone Italian. But from a young age, my Dad taught me to cook real home cooking.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Start a cooking class for kids. My grandsons love to cook and try everything so I want to encourage kids to explore different foods and I think if they cook it they will taste it.
