Receive Text UpdatesIt’s so hard to define just one dish, but if I must, my signature dish would have to be a slow cooked, herb-butter smothered turkey wing, served over homemade garlic mashed potatoes with a side of roasted broccoli and carrots. The turkey falls off the bone. Paired with that homemade gravy and creamy mashed potatoes, it is comfort food at its finest!
Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration has always been my mother. I recall being in the kitchen with her very young making homemade meals from scratch. And playing good music on the radio. She was the seasoning queen and opened her doors for anyone who was hungry. I aspire to be just like her in her skill, and her kindness to others.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000, I would become official! I’d stop selling plates from home, and get brick and mortar. I’d quite my part time fast food job, and officially set up Soulaan Kitchen. Build a restaurant, with my family, expand with a food truck, and serve beautiful healthy home cooked meals to the Akron OH area. I’d Also focus on my humanitarian efforts here in town with feeding underprivileged individuals.
