Who is your culinary inspiration?

my parents! i was born in kitchens. my dad owned a restaurant til i was 10 with my mom. i was 8 years old doing dishes on a milk crate. 5 years old when i got my first cut from a box knife breaking down boxes on order days. as i got older i watched more cooking shows with my dad like “diners drive-ins and dives” with Guy Fieri or Hell’s kitchen with Gordon Ramsay. and my highschool offered a Prostart Program that also competed in state competitions. It was more my DNA

What would you do with the $25,000?

1: down payment of a truck that could really open my private chef dream 2: pay off student loan debt from Culinary School 3: investing in myself to push further my culinary career! either in a food truck or business if i wanted later down the road among other many things that money can buy. like happiness and peace
