What is your signature dish?

This is an interesting question to me as what defines a chef a single dish? I am an intuitive chef. Michael is always to honor the ingredients that are available to me for example, since I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I have started to work with amazing fresh seafood and fish. I have a simple approach to my food. I guess if the question is something that I had on a menu that I couldn’t get rid of it would be Jack cakes…

Who is your culinary inspiration?

This is a long list, but if I had to pick one. I would have to say marco Perry White.

What would you do with the $25,000?
