My signature dish would be country smoked ham with macaroni and cheese and collard greens.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration stems from a few people. It mainly comes from my parents who taught me how to cook since I was 6 years old. My dad taught me how to work a grill, and my mom taught me how to work in the kitchen and make side dishes.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of the money to help pay off some debt, take my parents out and treat them, and donate some of the money to local soup kitchens in my area.
