I'm known for straight up comfort food. If it makes your heart feel good, then I've done my job. We can fry some chicken, grill a steak, or make a hearty roast beef dinner. Don't forget the homemade buns!
Who is your culinary inspiration?I dearly love Gordon Ramsey, but I connect with Trisha Yearwood or Rae Drummond style-wise.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would invest in a food truck. I love the vibe at special events, and my locale supports a mobile catering option. My family works with me, so it's the potential of a legacy that drives me.
