My passion for bread pudding started when my dad would take the family to Old Country Buffet after church on Sundays for dinner. They made this amazing bread pudding with a creamy white sauce. I found myself going just for the bread pudding and decided I needed to try my hand at it. I started with something basic. I knew I didn’t want the “slum dum” that my mother and grandmother made … sorry mom. As a young girl, I really enjoyed it, but I was going for a different taste and texture.
So, I started experimenting and eventually landed on a recipe I loved. Later, I added a banana and a new bread pudding was born! I started getting requests for bread pudding from my family especially my son, Vaughn, loved it, and so did his friends. One day, I came across a casting call for deep fried foods. The Destination America Network’s (a Discovery Channel) new reality TV show, Deep Fried Masters. The show was centered on uniquely crafted, deep-fried foods that are typically sold on the midway, i.e., state fairs, carnivals, etc. The show featured competitors deep frying their masterpieces at The Kansas City State Fair in 30-minute increments. At the urging of my son, I entered the contest and surprise, surprise, I won 1st place in the first round for my bread pudding and the rest is history.
I make a variety of bread puddings including Deep Fried Banana Bread Pudding, Spicy Hot Chocolate, Maple Bacon, and many more.
My team includes my sister, Pam and my niece, Nik!
