What is your signature dish?

Several dishes come to mind depending on the mood I’m in but my go to dish lately is my chicken cutlets with rice, Japanese brown curry and sunny side up egg

Who is your culinary inspiration?

So many greats out there but Anthony Bourdain was my childhood icon. He was the one that really made me think about food as a universal language

What would you do with the $25,000?

To put towards opening my own restaurant!
