Congratulations to Lynnae Elkins winning the 2011 Franchise Master Biscuit Maker Competition in Charlotte NC. The biscuit roll off was held today at Bojangles' Support Center. Lynnae was one of 7 finalists that competed in the Bojangles’ Master Biscuit Maker Title for 2011. The order in which the contestants would compete was determined by luck of the draw. Lynnae drew 5th.All contestants rolled out their batch in less than 5 minutes. Time only counts if you do not complete the roll out less than 5 minutes and in the case of a scoring tie time will be used to break the tie.
Lynnae got here by winning the Arrington Enterprises Master Biscuit Maker Contest, next winning the Area 7 Regional Master Biscuit Maker Contest and today competed in the Franchise 2011 Master Biscuit Maker contest.
I saw some mighty good biscuit makers today. Fastest I saw was 3 minutes 53 seconds, next fastest was 4minutes 8 seconds, another at 4 minutes 16.5 seconds, and Lynnae at 4 minutes 17 seconds. The last contestant to roll out for today was the reigning champion from last year. The first person was called to the biscuit table at 8:15 am. The last person finished about 12:30. The anxiety built and built with each competitor.
All competitors were impressive and when all had finished there was no clear winner. Points would decide it all.
A luncheon was held for us all in the training department and at the end each FBC would introduce the biscuit maker representing their region. All contestants were line up and given an envelope and all opened their envelope at the same time. Only one had a $1,000 check in it. All eyes were on the contestants as one big smile came from Lynnae. Her face said it all.
I am so proud of all store personnel who competed for Arrington Enterprises Master Biscuit Maker to Lynnae Elkins and Glenda Hall who represented Arrington Enterprises very well indeed. Again congratulations to Lynnae Elkins, 2011 Franchise Master Biscuit Maker Champion.
As I think back this year to the accomplishments of our 3 restaurants competing in the top 10 of Show Bo Competition, and Nancy Valentino bringing home 2nd place and $3,000, to Lynnae winning the Master Biscuit Maker competition and bringing home $1,000. AEI has had a pretty good year of accomplishments don’t you think? Don’t forget Pat Moran’s winning streak of 3-Show-Bo wins in 4 years either.
Thanks for all you do to protect and grow this brand.
Sincerely,
David Arrington
President, Arrington Enterprises, Inc.
