Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspirations are Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain. These chefs have started from nothing and built a name for themselves. Their drive and passion helped inspire me to become the chef I am today.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use this money to invest into a food truck of my own and help me become a social media chef. I’ve always wanted to own a small operation of my own. I believe starting with a food truck is a great way to build into my future aspiration of owning my own small business.
