What is your signature dish?

I have many signature dishes I have made my own throughout the years. My personal favorite is the New England boil. There is nothing like being on a beach with a bonfire and cooking a one pot experience with the people you love.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Julia Child… watching Miss Child on TV in the 60’s as a kid was amazing. I wanted to be just like her!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would start a food truck business asap!
