What is your signature dish?

Honestly… anything seafood, soups, and fried food is where I shine the most 😮‍💨🐟🍤🍲From Cajun seafood boils, crispy fried fish, loaded soups, egg rolls, and comfort food made with flavor that’s my lane!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Culinary inspiration comes from real home cooking, family traditions, Southern flavors, and creating food that brings people together.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it right back into growing STREETKITCHENLV This wouldn’t just be a win for me it would be motivation to keep pushing, keep creating, and show people that passion, hard work, and faith can take you far.
