Who is your culinary inspiration?Ann Burrell, Gordon Ramsay, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown and Carla Hall of course.
What would you do with the $25,000?Try to pay off some debt I think. I was sick and out of work for awhile and things kind of piled up on me. Anxiety and depression didn't help either and now I struggle just trying to break even.
