What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is Roast, with any side dish. Southern home style cooking is my favorite. We call it Soul food.

My mom is my culinary inspiration. Her food can beat mine on any day. The way she season food to perfections she has a flavor profile like no other.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, I’ll invest in me a permanent food tasting venue. Some where I can host all my food tastings. I want to become a Michelin star chef.
