What is your signature dish?

I don't believe I have one. I try not to attach myself to one dish when there are an infant number of them.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Anthony Bourdain. I feel he and I have very similar thoughts on life, on our work, our struggles with life and work. Also My sister Alicia. who had cancer and became a paraplegic at 8 years old. she never let her health, disabilitys, struggles or anything change her character, her positivity, her kindness or the way she treated people. she, like Bourdain. always stayed true to herself, meant what she said,said what she meant, never blamed others for her mistakes the way things turned out.

What would you do with the $25,000?

first thing. buy a head stone for my sister. she passed away in 2021 and my mother and I haven't been able to pay for one and no insurance company would let her get life insurance or anything like that. then with what ever is left I would give to my mother so she could at least think about retirement. (she will never be able to afford to retire)
