I love cooking anything and everything. Jambalaya, fried Chicken, Indian Curry, but I am most famous for my brisket and pulled pork.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Aaron Franklin, Alton Brown, Chef John from foodwishes.com, Kent Rollins, Gordan Ramsey, many more.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to grow my bbq catering side hustle. My little country kitchen isn’t very much, so to add and grow it would help so much (and bless my wife!).
