Who is your culinary inspiration?Chef Niema Digrazia
What would you do with the $25,000?If selected to receive the $25,000, I would use it to invest in my future as a chef and entrepreneur. I’m currently in culinary school working toward my degree, and my long term goal is to continue growing in the culinary industry while building something meaningful for my wife and community. A portion of the money would go toward expanding my food business by helping with equipment, licensing, marketing, and creating a stronger foundation to grow.
