Who is your culinary inspiration?Honestly, I grew up binge watching Food Network. So I love a lot of chefs like Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay and etc. I could say my favorite is definitely Racheal Ray, and Ree Drummond. They really inspire me a lot.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I was to receive $25,000 . I would use it to get my life back on track. I’m currently a single mom of one with little to barely minimum help. I would purchase me a vehicle making transportation easier for me , and also purchase a house (currently living with family) I would pay rent/utilities and etc. I would take this career more seriously and invest. I wanna give my son the world and introduce him to things I’ve never got to experience at his young age !
