What is your signature dish?

Spicy vodka shrimp or spaghetti and meatballs. But also I bake sourdough bread and my special flavor is a sun-dried tomato, jalapeno, Parmesan cheese loaf. Then taking that loaf and making a chicken sandwich or a meatball sandwich. Or just making fun designs on the loaves.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My mom

What would you do with the $25,000?

Get a nice bread oven that can bake over 10 loaves in 1 round and also supplies, and maybe rent a space to do it in or build it somewhere.
