I believe my signature dish is Garlic Butter Grilled Steak with Tomato Basil Mexican soup.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration is Adria Marina, a talented Mexican chef I discovered through MasterChef and Top Chef. Her story has inspired me to believe in my dreams and strive toward one day earning a Michelin Star for my own restaurant. I’m also inspired by Tiny Chef, if he can do it, I can too. ❤️
What would you do with the $25,000?I would divide the money in half, one portion would go toward starting my restaurant business, and the other half would be used to furthering my education and professional development.
