Smoked spatchcock chicken
Who is your culinary inspiration?My mother and grandmother. That’s where I learned food was never really just about the food. A meal is about the people around the table, the stories told between bites, and the experience of being together. Good food simply has a way of elevating all of it.
What would you do with the $25,000?Buy a food truck and start a family with my soon to be wife.
