Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandmother was a really great cook. I grew up rolling tamales 🫔 and enchiladas in her kitchen. Along the way I learned from her.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would like to build a gazebo for the retirement home 🏡 someplace we can get together outside to share food. I would like to dedicate it to my grandmother's name.
