What is your signature dish?

My late mother's Southern Style Cabbage recipe, check it out and others on https://youtube.com/@charlreaneatsclean4155?si=nKTnUD_Bbor-_C-5

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I believe it's innate, because I never cooked growing up but watched my relatives and cooking shows. When I left home, I bought cookbooks, continued watching shows and started cooking. It tasted good, so I continued.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money as a down payment to purchase a new home for me and my 21-year-old son. He has Autism and I want a home that we can call our forever home...one that will be his for the rest of his life.
