2017 Bacon World Champion Rebecka Evans

This Home Cook is the 2017 Bacon World Champion!! 

I'm so blessed to take home top honors at the 2017 World Food Championships held in Orange Beach, Al November 8-12. I beat out professional chefs and some very seasoned home cooks with my Dutch Crunch Baby Pancakes and won $10 thousand dollars in cash and prizes.  Stay tuned for the Final Table, April 2018 where I will battle it out to win 100 Grand.

Thank you Team Saucy Mama for believing in me and being the best sponsor in the world!!
