Who is your culinary inspiration?Certified Master Chef Aidan Murphy
What would you do with the $25,000?I plan to use it as a catalyst for what I’m calling a Circle of Support. My family, business, community! A portion will go towards myself and my wife’s immediate needs to ensure we have the security to continue pouring all the energy we have into Balance Restaurant. Next, we will invest into the restaurant directly to secure the livelihoods of our staff. Finally, we will work with our local foundation to ensure we are investing in an area that our Johnstown community needs most.
