What is your signature dish?

I have several! Mandarin cranberry duck, Basmenta (my own indo italian fusion dish), and mashed potatoes I’ve been told they’re the best in the world!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I don’t have just one, I get culinary inspiration from everywhere. Even the local family owned restaurant. It inspires me to start my own place. I want to create food people will love, that’ll they’ll truly get excited by.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d put it towards starting my own food business, it would be a great start!
