What is your signature dish?

Depends on the season and mood. I try to add a distinguishing signature on every plate I serve.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

*Marco Pierre White- for his obsession and authenticity * Anthony Bourdain- for his charisma and empathy * James Kent- for his swagger and confidence * Grant Achatz- for his resilience and pursuit to break the paradigm

What would you do with the $25,000?

Fullfil my dream of purchasing a food truck, allowing me the opportunity to feed more of my community and those in need. No one comes to my table and leaves hungry.
