Receive Text Updateslol, I ask my wife what she thinks that would be and she runs through chicken Alfredo ( I’ve never tried my own pasta ) but do like to make a lemon garlic sauce with mushrooms, then she said full BBq spread with collard greens and sweet potatoes, and kept on going but mostly southern comforts
Who is your culinary inspiration?My mother ( who was the general cook of the house ) & father ( who loves grilling on open flames ), my grandmothers and my aunts.
What would you do with the $25,000?Debt …… 😅….. joking but true aslo ….. with the economy lol. Seriously though, in the sense of cooking and creating meals for my family/friends: Turn our kitchen into an accessible one so I can cook more easily with/for them. I love being able to have everyone over for a great get together with good food ( mainly smoked meats ) Business wise though, my wife has dreamed of starting her own cookie business so I’d love to able to support her.
