Who is your culinary inspiration?I'm not him but I love me some Gordan Ramsey! He is innovative, and inspirational. A genius when it comes to cooking but also a talker ! Even though I could never be on Hell's Kitchen because he would eat me alive and I'm too sensitive for that version of him lol.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would do two things for myself. That sounds weird saying that because I am always taking care of everyone else. But I would pay my car off and actually pay for Culinary classes, so I can become the chef I really want to be.
