What is your signature dish?

If we have time, red wine braised short ribs with mashed potatoes & rainbow carrots followed by a classic bread pudding with a vanilla bourbon caramel sauce for dessert! =)

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration is my late grandmother & my mom. Both known for creating dishes that have left lasting impressions on anyone that has had their food.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use the $25,000 to grow my culinary skills, pursue new opportunities like traveling abroad to study in Europe where I can gain global culinary experience bringing those skills back to my community. While many people say you don’t need to go to culinary school to be a chef I think there is so much that you can learn from it beyond being over the stove.
