What is your signature dish?

Soul Food Sunday! Which consist of baked chicken, baked mac and cheese, collards with smoked turkey and ham hock, rice, candied yams and cornbread.

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.
