What is your signature dish?

I'm fond of Southern foods... I do a pretty mean shrimp and grits as well some outstanding fried chicken with all the trimmings...in fact some of the best I've ever had...and have many followers of it , I've leaned techniques passed down from generations. But I can be all over with food , from French and Italian ( rustic or fine tuned upscale ) to classic soul food ...

Julia Childs , Justin Wilson , Jacque Pepin , Bobby Flay , Marco Pierre White , Anthony Bourdain ,

What would you do with the $25,000?

Invest in food truck... In today's market , low overhead , and self reliance , with the ability to relocate a follow growth would be good..
