COMPETITOR
The Fabulous Bacon Babe
HEAD COOK: Jodi Taffel
COMPETITION: Bacon World Championship
After 5 times in the Top 10 I finally won the title of Bacon World Champion in 2019. And since the 2020 WFC was cancelled due to the pandemic, one could argue that I held that title longer than anyone else! At Final Table, I won the 2nd round and ended up placing 2nd overall by half a point. To say that 2021 was my least favorite year would be an understatement. Twice during the 5 days at WFC my mom was hospitalized, then a technical foul landed me in 20th place, and the following day my 13 year relationship ended. Just as my head was coming above water, we lost my mom. Throwing myself into 2022 WFC prep was the only thing that got me out of bed in the mornings. And that certainly paid off. With a newly appointed angel on my shoulder, I beat the odds and not only won for a 2nd time, I earned the 1st ever score of 101 in the history of the competition. Look out Final Table. The Bacon Babe is back!
