My signature dish is a grilled skirt steak on a sweet potato purée with cherry tomatoes and salsa matcha.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My earliest inspiration to cook was Ina Garten, she was delighted to host and loves food as a central part of any hang out. My daily inspiration are the cooks around me, learning laughing and cooking with each other is my favorite part of being a chef.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to invest the $25,000 into our new home. My wife and I just bought our first house together in Asheville, NC and it would help us so much on some upgrades (specifically the kitchen).
