What is your signature dish?

Gumbo it was the first dish I learned to make well! There are so many different versions and styles I just love to experiment and make it better!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration is Brian voltaggio. A family man he competes and even though he doesn’t always win he strives on with his passion of cooking.

What would you do with the $25,000?

What I would do with 25,000 dollars, is put a down payment on a bigger home for my family of six with a bigger yard so my kids can play along with our little dog.
