What is your signature dish?

I make a pretty amazing Ossobuco to be honest I love cooking everything and I put my heart into everything I cook!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My grandmother fist introduced me to cooking and ignited my passion for it, but my culinary inspirations draw from Grant Achatz, Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain, everyone with a heart and passion for cooking!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly I would look into starting my own restaurant or a food truck where I could go around expressing my creativity with the freshest ingredients available every single day with an ever-changing menu That's constantly evolving based on what products available that would be amazing to me, my literal dream!!
