Who is your culinary inspiration?Growing up with all girls being the only boy I was always around food especially when the food is getting cooked I be in the kitchen watching. When I was 12 one of my big sis was teaching me how to cook. I caused a grease fire because I put a plastic plate on the hot stove. Fast forward today I enjoy cooking I love learning new recipes and new techniques I love honest feedback I tell whoever I cook for let me know how it tastes . Really I just want to be the best Chef I can be
What would you do with the $25,000?Wow for one thank God for giving me this opportunity. From the jump I’m saving 5000. Than give my son 5000. Than I use 10000 for an apartment and pay my bills in advance. Finally the last 5000 I will use to help out my family and anything left over I will feed the homeless. This is what I will do if I win the $25,000
