Chorizo Toastadas, with watermelon Pico and VA White Sauce. Also love making Ice cream.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My family, from growing up I always watched my mother cook. My wife and I also are foodies and love trying new dishes, along with our kiddos.
What would you do with the $25,000?We have a small thrifting hobby on the side we enjoy doing together. I have always wanted to open up a small cafe that is influenced by my parents Cuban/Key west roots, so we would have items to thrift and a small cafe.
