What is your signature dish?

Steaks and crab cakes (my Grandpops recipe) on the grill with grilled veggies.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My Dad was and always will be my culinary inspiration. As a kid growing up he would always be in the kitchen making all kinds of recipes or coming up with his own concoction's. He’s been gone for 20 years now, but I still talk to him and think “what would Dad do?”

What would you do with the $25,000?

As a single mom trying to do the best I can, the prize money will be able to go towards my twin 15 year olds college education.
