Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandma. She was an equestrian who gained notoriety in our family as THE CHEF. She crafted dishes from around the world even though she had a simple start in Norfolk, VA. She married into my grandfather’s Italian village and took food mastery to the farthest reaches of the globe while keeping the Italian traditions in first place.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d do exactly what you would do….put it to good use in the best way I see fit! I have many side hustles that I could easily grow if I had some capital. I’m a nurse by trade but there is so much more to me!
