What is your signature dish?

I actually have 2. One is a caprese steak with butter, garlic, and citrus steamed asparagus, and wild rice. The is chicken, bacon, and strawberry balsamic pizza

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I don't really have one, but if I were to choose it would be Guga from Guga food channel, and Jush from the Mythical Kitchen

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would actually use it to help my family. $25,000 isn't much but it's more than I had to begin with. Would just be nice
