What is your signature dish?

My signature is homemade wings tossed in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, crafted with a secret method that keeps every bite crispy and full of flavor.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration is my journey as a former restaurant owner and the people I’ve cooked for along the way. I cook with soul, drawing from real-life experiences, love, and resilience. My food—especially my signature sweet-and-spicy crispy wings—is all about creating comfort, connection, and unforgettable flavor that brings people together.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to bring my food truck dream to life and expand my culinary journey, sharing my soulful scratch-made cooking with more communities while building a lasting legacy.
