Who is your culinary inspiration?Carla Hall- I admire her hard work and heart. It’s very rare that people from Top Chef build a platform like this for everyday people. Guy Fieri- I admire how he is able to make food shows so fun & entertaining. I would love my own food show one day.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’ve been saving towards a small restaurant for a while now because, I’ve always dreamed of accomplishing something meaningful for my community. I’m competing to help build Sasha Suya—a fast-casual food concept serving bold, high-quality flavors that are affordable and made with heart. My goal is to create a space where food brings people together, culture is celebrated, and every meal feels special. Your support helps turn this dream into reality.
