Who is your culinary inspiration?My inspiration started out with my grandmother who I carry in my heart daily. For the last seven years, since my granddaughter was born I have pushed buttons in culinary that I never knew where there.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use half for trust for my granddaughters education. The other would be used for gas since I drive 3 hours daily to work.
