What is your signature dish?

One of my signature dishes is fresh pasta ravioli stuffed with lobster, blistered tomatoes, sautéed spinach and beurre blanc sauce.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration began with my mother who made everything from scratch. I also had an amazing International Cuisine instructing Chef while in school. He was an outstanding mentor.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in a brick and mortar location for my catering business. It would allow me to utilize the space for higher production and finally be able to advertise more!
