What is your signature dish?

My tastes and thought process change daily. There are times where a crisp cold golden gazpacho can hit the spot. Then there are times where a tangy apricot airline chicken over goat cheese brussel sprouts can be my go to. It all depends on who i am entertaining.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

For sure, for sure it is Gordon Ramsay. There is no better idol or character to strive to be like. Any young chef should try and aspire to have his demeanor and drive. He is my hero not only in the kitchen, but i think he is a bar setter in many different categories in the game of life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Buy a house so me and my wife and start a family. we have waited many years to be in a safe and comfortable home to begin our future. We might need to start raising Americas new little favorite chef soon.
