My signature side dish would have to be my Mac and The Cheese. If we are talking about proteins, I would have to say my preparation of lamb chops and garlic parmesan asparagus and mashed potatoes are a favorite. I've experienced people say not everyone can prepare a good lamb chop.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Honestly, my initial culinary inspiration was Chef G. Garvin and have since included others like Chef Gordon Ramsay, Chef Bobby Flay, Chef Antonia Lofaso, Chef Jet Tila....well the list goes on. But if I had to select my ultimate inspiration, it would have to be Chef G Ram.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to restart/reignite my food service company started in 2017. It would afford me the opportunity to provide employment for others interested in culinary pursuits.
