Who is your culinary inspiration?I have been watching cooking shows for as long as I can remember my dad David.. Emeril lagasse .. Carla Hall... chef Bobby bobby flay to name a few I was about 14 or 15 years old before I realize that you can buy spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce in a jar have never seen it before because everything in my house was done by stretch my dad wasn't a chef but he was an amazing cook and I learned a lot from him
What would you do with the $25,000?25,000 for if I have to give some to my favorite charities American heart association my dad passed away very young 49 of heart disease never smoke or drink then sickle cell anemia foundation my sister passed away at 27th and I have some grandbabies it'd be great to just take them on a vacation never was able to do that for them the 25,000 would be great but to meet Ms Hall will be the icing on the cake for me and to learn anything from her will be a blessing
