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.
