From a fellow Lake Charles Boston alumni, and someone who prides himself in his love of food; you have my admiration, respect, and best wishes going forward in not only the competition but also in maintaining your spot as one of the best chefs in Southwest Louisiana, and to one day become one of the best chefs in the world! Good luck!
