What is your signature dish?

Tough call. My ribs are good, my grilled corn is super good, my skewers or shishkebabs do well, also my roasted veggies seem to be a hit.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Not sure. Never really gave it much thought, I do like Alex @French guy cooking, America's test kitchen, you suck at cooking, YTs

What would you do with the $25,000?

Sure would help with the meds/treatment my insurance wont cover, including a freeze dryer, so I can make clean recovery food for myself, and hopefully other cancer patients like me. Please consider donating to my gofundme? https://gofund.me/15cc04163
