Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits Restaurants has crowned Glenn Johnson of the Mallard Creek Road Bojangles' in Charlotte as its 2009 Bojangles' Master Biscuit Maker.
Recognized for their fresh, made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, Bojangles' takes the art of biscuit making very seriously. The biscuit maker position is one of the most skilled and coveted positions in each of its restaurants. With the victory, Johnson receives a $1,000 cash prize, the Master Biscuit Maker trophy and bragging rights.
"Glenn Johnson and all of the finalists did an outstanding job. Our made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits are one of the main reasons Bojangles' has such loyal customers. To reach the finals takes great skill," said Randy Kibler, Bojangles' Restaurants Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer. "Unlike our competitors where biscuits are an afterthought, Bojangles' has elevated the biscuit to an art form. More than 500,000 made-from-scratch biscuit are served everyday in our 455 locations."

The Bojangles' Master Biscuit Maker Challenge starts at the local level with over 500 crew members competing for the title of Master Biscuit Maker. Master Biscuit Maker Challenge contestants are judged stringently on a variety of preparation steps, including technique, as well as consistency, color and texture of their finished biscuits.
