What is your signature dish?

Turkey, bacon, ranch salad is my signature dish at Christmas Eve Brunch. It is salty and sweet and packed with protein. It looks festive on the holiday table. Definitely a crowd pleaser!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Sookie Saint James, the chef at The Independence Inn/Dragonfly Inn on Gilmore Girls, is a fictional character who has inspired my real-life culinary accomplishments. After seeing her wedding cake with all the sugared flowers, I made a similar wedding cake for my friend's wedding. Sookie made fried stuffed squash blossoms, so I made them too. Her fresh ingredients and interesting combination of flavors has always inspired me to create delicious and beautiful food.

What would you do with the $25,000?

This amount of money would help me purchase a new van for my food deliveries.
