What is your signature dish?

I've got patience... I love a good stewed dish! Be it coq au vin, chili, carne guisada or just a hearty ol beef stew, time is the most important ingredient in any dish.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Gotta say Julia Child -- her tenacity for trying new things and making traditional recipes her own ... Truly inspiring. Her constant reassurance that practice makes perfect really speaks to me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'd love to take this $25,000 to build a private room karaoke spot... We live in a college town - can you imagine we don't already have one?!?!? Better than bar food, this town is RAVENOUS for scratch made cuisine and something more than a chain!
