Who is your culinary inspiration?Well To start cooking comes from the heart of the cook. And with that being said my inspiration is my father who’s has touch me everything I live when it comes to cooking.
What would you do with the $25,000?Would help me getting my very own spot to cook and do what I love as well as pay my fathers house off so he don’t have to keep working at the age of 70 he still. I believe since my mother has passed from cancer he just can’t sit still. Working a full time job and side jobs and it’s really time for him to to sit back and enjoy the rest of his life and just cook with me over and over again
