What is your signature dish?

Chicken Parmesan from scratch. I make my own bread crumbs which can take days to dry out the bread. I use flour, egg and bread crumbs to coat the chicken breast after it’s been pounded thin. I top it with homemade marinara and at the end add cheese and broil. I serve the chicken Parmesan with a garlic and oil pasta and a garden salad with artichoke hearts.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Cooking along side my parents and grandparents have been extremely pivotal in my love for cooking. I’ve loved watching cooking shows/competitions since I can remember. If I was going to pick a celebrity who I could only aspire to be like it would be Bobby Flay.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win the prize of $25,000 I would want to pay off some debt and build a very much needed new deck at my home. I would love to be able to brag a little also.
