What is your signature dish?

Soul food, or spanish inspired. Not to brag but I dont have a signature dish- I cook with passion and make any dish a signature dish.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Carla Hall you have been my inspiration since 2008 top chef- i was always on the edge of my seat with you...Tiffany Derry, and Gordon Ramsey are also my inspiration.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely buy me a food truck and travel every city to leave my name and make a brand- 25k would be a big help for me as a single mother with no help. I would drop to my knees.
