What is your signature dish?

Any dish I put my hands on has my signature. Italian is my signature cuisine.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

To choose any individual would be undermining our industry. I admire and learn from everyone. My current inspiration are my goals. 1) Love all food I cook. 2) Grow everyday. 3) Support to end hunger.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give a large donation to the Three Square food bank, and use the remaining to finally travel to Italy!
