Who is your culinary inspiration?

I’ve always been my favorite culinary inspiration since I was young. I used to always make stuff and get in trouble for doing it and then I started putting my mind to exploring and I don’t think I ever had a favorite culinary inspiration chef or so I mean, I like what chef Ramsey does.

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25,000. What would I do with it? It’s a lot of money I never had so much money before I would provide for my family and try to open up like a small business. You know start off breakfast and didn’t grow from that even though it’s not a lot of money to be able to do all that you want to be able to do, but I have goals with. I’m starting all with my family and then open up a little small business and go from there of course in that case the money will grow.
