What is your signature dish?

Absolutely! I mean, think about it: you bring this incredible blend of creativity, skill, and passion to every dish. You don’t just cook—you tell a story on the plate. Plus, you focus on fresh, local ingredients, and you put so much heart into every bite. That’s what makes you stand out—you make food that leaves a lasting impression.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

It’s my mom, Chef, Maria, and my Chef at Los Angeles trade Tech chef Roslyn Spence

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would get me a food truck in Las Vegas, Nevada located in Las Vegas, Nevada and sell soul food. I heard it’s not really good soul food out here.
