What is your signature dish?

I have a fried chicken sandwich that has become a staple of mine.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

You know i dont really know. My dad loves to cook and we love to go head to head. My mom always pretends to act like a food network judge.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use that money to help create my Resturant. A farm to table experience that is also a learning center for adults that are struggling or need a career change.
