Shrimp and Grits. Where soul food meets luxury. It's rich, smoky, and packed with flavor in every bite.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration is rooted in the powerful traditions of soul food and the women in my family who taught me that food is love, culture, and connection.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning $25,000 would help me turn years of hard work and passion into my own food truck. Bringing my food, my story, and my heart directly to my community. This isn’t just my dream, it’s something everyone who supports me becomes a part of.
