What is your signature dish?

Golumpki, learned from my mother and grandmother. I take them to every family party.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Me and my wife always watched Jacques Pepin on Saturday mornings on PBS since we were teenagers. He really made we want to cook different cuisine that we weren't familiar with at the time.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Home kitchen renovation. Top name gear for me.
