Tony Robinson Crowned Champion of Hardee’s 2023 Biscuit Baker Competition
Robinson, from Norfolk, VA, was one of four finalists from across the brand who competed in the final round of competition in St. Petersburg, FL to be named the “2023 Biscuit Baker Competition Champion” and win the grand prize of $10,000. The competition started in September, with Biscuit Bakers competing locally at more than 1,700 restaurants across the U.S. After rigorous competition among company and franchisees’ restaurants, local winners advanced to regional competitions, with four finalists competing in the national competition. With 15 minutes to make a batch of 52 biscuits, the bakers were judged on their biscuit knowledge, baking skill, and ability to set up and maintain their biscuit station.
The biscuits were evaluated and judged based on several criteria, including visual appearance, color, texture and taste, to decide who crafted the best Made From Scratch™ biscuit. The second, third and fourth place winners received a prize of $2,500.
