Company & Franchise winners honored
following Bojangles’ 19th-Annual biscuit-making competition
The Bojangles’ (NASDAQ:BOJA) made-from-scratch buttermilk
biscuit, baked fresh every 20 minutes, is an icon. Southeastern
locals crave the simplicity of a hot, fresh Bojangles’ buttermilk
biscuit, while out-of-towners count down the days until they can
again experience the wonders of a Bojangles’ biscuit. The biscuit
is so important to Bojangles’ broad menu of home-style favorites
that each year the company holds an internal biscuit-making
competition, the Master Biscuit Maker Challenge.

“At Bojangles’ we are very proud of all of our menu items, but
for us, it all starts with the biscuit,” said Bojangles’ President
and CEO, Clifton Rutledge. “Our fans know there’s nothing like the
taste of a delicious, made-from-scratch Bojangles’ biscuit. We have
been baking the perfect biscuit for our customers all day, every
day for years, and the Master Biscuit Maker Challenge is the ideal
competition to ensure we continue serving our customers nothing but
the very best. I personally want to congratulate Roger and Royce on
earning this prestigious award, and we’re proud to call them our
Bojangles’ Master Biscuit Maker Champions.”
As champions, Hudson and Vereen will each take home a $2,500
cash prize, a championship trophy, company-wide recognition and
bragging rights as the 2015 Master Biscuit Maker Champions.
Additionally, all finalists will receive a $250 cash prize and a
trophy.
Master Biscuit Maker finalists, including eight from
company-owned locations and ten from franchise-owned restaurants,
were first required to take a written exam on the proprietary
Bojangles’ biscuit-making process. Then, team members prepared a
batch of biscuits that adhere to Bojangles’ strict specifications,
including the company’s signature 48-step process. Judges from
Bojangles’ Support Center score biscuits based on a variety of
factors, including appearance, color, and of course, taste.
