What is your signature dish?

Well. It depends who you ask - my Dad would say Arroz Con Pollo, my boyfriend would say “Ropa Vieja” (old cloths) and my Mom would say - Caldo de Pollo.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Alex. I enjoy her banter and her food backs her up!! Iron Chef extraordinaire. Her way of cooking and choices of combination inspires me to try it. My Dad would always say - “try it, you may like it”.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Unfortunately I would have to say “pay debt” but I would definitely take some to travel to Spain or Greece. I would love to take a cooking course while visiting these destinations.
