What is your signature dish?

That’s tough but I would have to say my sausage and veggies pasta dish.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I have throughout the years been inspired by many chefs but if I were to pick one I would have to say Rachael Ray.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’m a single parent with 3 college kids so I would definitely help them and also go visit my family in Brazil. I haven’t seen them since 2010 when my dad passed. Thank you for the opportunity.
