My signature dish is a premium orange syrup chocolate babka made with rich French chocolate and bright orange essence bold, indulgent, unforgettable.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My mom was my culinary inspiration, and after losing her just before my daughter was born, I cook to carry her love, passion, and memory forward every day.
What would you do with the $25,000?Cooking has always been how I show love and connect with people. After years of hard work building a life for my wife and daughter, I’ve realized the best reward isn’t more work it’s time together. With $25,000, I’d take my family on a trip we’ll never forget, stepping away from the rush to enjoy the simple moments that make everything worth it.
