What is your signature dish?

I don’t really like to pigeon hole myself, but I do think my Crab Cakes are very unique and could be my signature dish

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I draw inspiration from a lot of chefs but I love Charlie Trotter and Daniel Beloud. I love the beauty of their plates and how their flavors are classic with their own flair, I definitely try to pay homage to the past while being fun and whimsical

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, this would help my family and I out put a down payment on a forever home and I’d also like to use some of the prize money to invest in a food truck or brick and mortar
