Who is your culinary inspiration?All the Food Network OGs have been my culinary inspiration ever since I was a little girl. I loved watching Rachel Ray, Alton Brown, Bobby Flay & Guy Fieri! My eyes stayed glued to FN all day, every day!
What would you do with the $25,000?I am getting married in October and I would use some of the money to help pay for the wedding (especially get amazing catering)! I would also use some of the funds to find a new home for my new husband and I that has a GREAT kitchen so I can continue to work on my craft!
