Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandma. When I was a kid, she would have to make me go outside and play with. Otherwise, I would’ve been in the kitchen with her.
What would you do with the $25,000?First, I would start with a design label for my BBQ Sauce and my seasoning/rub. Second, These bills aren’t going to pay themselves! Third, the rest would go to Living In Purpose foundation, bottling and marketing my sauce.
