Receive Text UpdatesThe signature dish has to be Southern-style potato salad. I chose this because every time there’s a function at the church, wedding, cookout, or funeral, my potato salad is always requested. I know you ask for one thing to do but when asking my family and friends they also said my fried fish.
Who is your culinary inspiration?I must say you are, because you are giving cooks like me the opportunity to cook against an amazing chef like yourself.
