At the restaurant it’s eggs Benedict’s I also love to cook any type of steak as my favorite

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My parents have been mine I wouldn’t be here cooking if it wasn’t for them showing me the ropes

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d invest it back into my dream and my community. I’d upgrade equipment, create bigger food content, grow Chef Too Tall, and help bring more attention to small local businesses like ours.
