Who is your culinary inspiration?My dad was a short-order cook in his youth, and has taught me a few skills.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have an off-campus apartment while attending college. The school has a limited food pantry, so my grocery bills are a challenge. The funds would sustain me while gaining my education. Allowing me to shop at the farmers market.
