COMPETITOR
The Twisted Cook
HEAD COOK: Paula Todora
COMPETITION: Bacon World Championship
From Savannah to Scotland, Paula's made her mark in the competitive cooking world. She was a Kraft Brand Ambassador in 2011 and 2012, followed by representing Bob's Red Mill in Scotland in 2013 as a Brand Ambassador. This will be her 5th year competing in The World Food Championship, beginning with her 7th place win in the Seafood Category in 2013. She competed twice in the Dessert Category, resulting in a 2nd place win in 2015. Paula placed in the Bacon Top Ten in 2021 and will be returning to fry up some more delicious BACON in 2022! As the former co-host of a national food, golf and wine radio show, she was dubbed "The Twisted Cook" due to her ability to put a TWIST on the classics, something she still insists on doing (Ever seen wonton wrappers filled with porridge and apples???).
