Who is your culinary inspiration?My mother (Martha Williams), My auntie (Eula Belle Walton), and My grandmother (Annie Ruth Williams). My mother was the absolute best cook I ever knew in my early years! It wasn’t until my teenage years when I realized that her big sister, my auntie, had taught her what she knew! And my father’s mother was amazing in her own right! These three women not only raised me but showed me how to cook with love!
What would you do with the $25,000?This is probably the easiest of these questions to answer! I would use the money to open my own restaurant! Because I spread my love through my food. And that would be my way of spreading love and changing the world!
