What is your signature dish?

My twist on Cajun Shrimp Alfredo: shrimp and andouille sausage are sautéed in Cajun seasoning until golden-brown, then paired with a creamy Alfredo reduction infused with garlic, butter, Parmesan, and bow-tie noodles. It’s the perfect blend of heat and richness in every bite.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My mother is my culinary inspiration. She taught me at a young age how to cook, and prepare meals for my sisters and myself. As I got older, I continued to get better, and eventually started cooking professionally. It’s truly a passion for me. I’m constantly trying to get better every day, and now that I’m a father that inspires me even more to achieve my goal of one day possibly becoming a head chef of my own kitchen.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the winnings into starting my own food truck/catering business, so that I can build a better future for my family.
