My signature dish is tender, slow-cooked oxtails over seasoned rice with steamed cabbage and cornbread fritters. A true taste of Southern comfort made with love and flavor in every bite.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My granny and mother are my culinary inspirations. They taught me to cook with love and tradition, and I add my own twist to every dish.
What would you do with the $25,000?I want to share my love of food and inspire the next generation by creating a safe space for kids to learn and grow. Through food, I hope to bring communities together and create meaningful opportunities for others. Winning would help me move closer to my dream of owning a food truck and sharing my passion for Southern cuisine.
