Who will rise to the top to be crowned the Best Baker in America? It could be this uber-talented pastry chef from Louisville.
Jackie Joseph, who has worked as the executive pastry chef at the Louisville Omni Hotel and The Brown Hotel, is competing in the upcoming season of Food Network s Best Baker in America.
She ll join a batch of nine other world-class bakers to battle it out on season four which premieres at 9 p.m. Monday.
This season’s baking challenges focus on creating unique versions of a variety of classic American desserts. Each of the 10 contestants is from a different state and Joseph, who grew up in Eastern Kentucky and now calls Louisville home, has a distinct advantage in the first challenge.
Other episodes during the season challenge the bakers’ abilities to create sweet treats from the mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Northern Plains, Midwest, the Pacific and more.
The competition was filmed in Tucson, Arizona, and takes place over eight episodes. Each episode features two rounds that test baking skills and technical mastery with specific flavors and ingredients. I baked a lot of things all over the United States, including some things I d never baked before, so that was a weird experience, she said. I had a lot of fun!
Cox is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York City and moved to Tennessee to help open Henrietta Red in Nashville. She worked at the restaurant, named one of the best new concepts in the country by Bon Appetit in 2017, for five years.
