What is your signature dish?

I think I’m really good at cooking with meat.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My grandmas were excellent cooks.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy an air conditioner for my family because our house is extremely warm in the summertime. This way we would all benefit and I would take them on a vacation because we all haven’t been able to go somewhere together like Mexico.
