Receive Text UpdatesMy favorite, and the biggest crowd pleaser I have is my cheeseburger bread. It’s browned beef, some spices carefully wrapped in a pizza dough crust and baked. But I have to say I am most known for my Grampa Nifty’s Sauce.
Who is your culinary inspiration?I have two. One is my Grandfather Nifty who started to teach me how to make sauce when I was 8, perched on a step stool. I’d watch him and sometimes he’d let me brown the pork chop before he added the veggies! My second is Ann Burrell, watching her I have learned technique that I would have never gotten otherwise.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’ve been looking to start my own bakery, my “Almost Famous” Chocolate chip cookies just need some exposure!
