Who is your culinary inspiration?I draw from all three knife-bearing muses to great cooking. Bobby Flay for his boldness and contrast. He knows how to balance aggressive flavors. Guy Fieri inspires the soul of cooking. He shows a deep respect for unpretentious, high-quality food. Gordon Ramsay brings technique and discipline to the table. He is a chef whose skills take him from the diner to the dining room for a good meal.
What would you do with the $25,000?With a $25,000 budget, I would take my small home kitchen and completely rebuild the room and surfaces into a kitchen I can cook, work, and learn within.
