american bistro. >> congrats. >> thank you. that ink you for having me. >> you were the first daughter. did that elevate your palette at any point? >> i just had my dad. we were spoiled. we had every fruit tree, vegetable in the backyard. growing up as a child, it was one of the things where my dad would go into the garden, pick fruit, and make juice for us. we had fresh papaya. having that in the caribbean, i was spoiled. that was the first introduction for me, from farm to table. you can't boo it that. >> and the cooking influence, your granny and your mom. >> my grandmother was in the kitchen every single morning. >> and you used to have bake-offs. >> yes. because my mom loved baking cakes.
