What is your signature dish?

This is hard to choose. Chicken Fried Steak w/Gravy and all the fixings or Roast Beef simmered till tender with potatoes, onions, carrots and gravy. But I can’t be remiss, I have to mention my Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I have to say my Mama was my first culinary inspiration. It was amazing how she could make a feast out of very little on hand. But she was raised during the depression so that probably explains it. As far as professionals, there are so many. I’ve watched cooking shows my entire life. I think you can learn new techniques of doing things better or easier or even different. Keep your mind and tastebuds open for lots of experiences.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Would redo my kitchen.
