Hammy winnersFURNISHED PHOTO

Winners and judges at the third annual Broadbent’s Pig Day celebration included (left to right) Chad Faughn, Candi Freeland, Diane Cooper, Beau

Choate, Mike Mallory and Allan Watts. The Grand Champion Best of Show entry was Diane Cooper’s Sausage Braid.

Area cooks showed off culinary talents at Broad-bent’s 3rd annual cooking competition last Saturday, March 3, in Kuttawa.

“So Good,” “very rich,” “nice presentation, with delicious fl avor” are the words used by judges to describe the Grand Champ Best of Show entry made by Diane Cooper of Kuttawa.

Cooper’s recipe “Sau-sage Brunch Braid” was a delightful pastry made from crescent rolls fi lled with a mixture of Broad-bent sausage, onion, cel-ery, green peppers, garlic, cheddar cheese, green on-ion tops and parsley.

Cooper was also named winner of the bacon cat-egory with her Mini Mush-room & Bacon Quiche.

Beau Choate of Kut-tawa was winner of the country ham category, with his Country Ham Bites featuring a mixture of cream cheese, crushed pineapple and Broadbent country ham wrapped in an egg roll wrap, then deep fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce. Judges observed that this was a nice combination of fl avors, with the pineapple

being a nice surprise.Chad Faughn of Fredo-

nia was named winner in our Kentucky Proud cat-egory. Faughn soaked his ribs in pineapple juice, rubbed with a blend of spices, cooked on hickory coals and then topped with Broadbent’s Hot & Spicy and Hickory BBQ Sauces. Judges comments includ-ed, “wonderful fl avor, so tender, with the sauce add-ing such a unique fl avor.”

Faughn’s BBQ Ribs beat out Elbert Bennett’s Beef Brisket, last year’s Grand Champion. It was a tough call for the judges offering the Beef Brisket a well-deserved honorable mention.

As part of the porky celebration, the Broad-bent staff prepared three tables of food, with Eas-ter, March Madness and Kentucky Derby Party Themes. The Easter table featured recipes for a sit down meal, March Mad-ness and Derby tables fea-tured appetizers such as Peppered Bacon wrapped Chicken Bites, Sweet Sau-sage Puffs, Country Ham Sliders and more.

Two cooking demon-strations were presented during the day. The fi rst demo was given by Broad-

bent’s Beth Drennan, who fried country ham in brown sugar, maple syrup and butter for country ham sliders, featured on the March Madness table. Choate, who is Lake Bark-ley Tourism Director, pre-sented the second demo featuring his Country Ham Croquettes. He had en-tered and won the Grand Champ prize with the cro-quettes recipe at the fi rst Piglicious Cooking Com-petition.

“We are so blessed with a great panel of judges,” said Drennan. WPSD-TV’s Mike Mallory and WK-DZ’S Allan Watts have served as judges all three years. This was the second year for WKYQs Candi Freeland.

“Our judges took over an hour to reach a deci-sion. It’s a very serious yet tasty task put before our judges, who do an ex-cellent job. They are also extremely fun folks to have on hand for the day. I would like to thank them, as well as everyone who came out to be a part of our National Pig Day Cel-ebration” said Drennan.

“Start picking out your favorite porky dishes to enter in next year compe-tition,” she encouraged.

Broadbent’s crowns ‘Hammy’ winnersStaff Report • The Times Leader

The regionally popular jazz quartet, “Grumpy Old Men”, will feature guest vocalist Kala Dunn during a March 10 performance at the West Kentucky Community & Technical College Clemens Fine Arts Center in Paducah.

“Kala is a terrifi c mu-sician and the intimate coffee-house atmosphere of the “Backstage Pass Series” is really a perfect setting for her voice and style,” said Roger Reich-muth, saxophonist and leader of the quartet.

Dunn is currently the vocalist with the Todd Hill Quartet and has been ap-pearing with that combo throughout the region.

She lives in Murray, where she is a WKMS-FM staff member, church pianist and private studio piano teacher.

Dunn is a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy with a diploma in fl ute performance and holds the Bachelor of Mu-sic piano performance de-gree from Murray State University where she was the Outstanding Senior in Music in 2009-2010.

She recently appeared in the four-member cast

of “The Marvelous Won-derettes” performed at Murray’s Playhouse in the Park.

The “Grumpy Old Men” have been performing in the region and beyond for the past 22 years with Reichmuth as leader. The other members are Don-ny Howard, pianist; Scott Thile, bass, and Dean Hughes, drums. The com-bo has a repertoire of over 500 compositions includ-ing standard ballads and swing era hits, Broadway tunes, Latin favorites and bebop era songs.

“The challenge for a two-set program like this one is to choose just the

right mix from so many wonderful songs,” said Reichmuth. “We are really looking forward to this special performance and believe the audience will be in for a musical treat.”

The performance will be this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Clemens Fine Arts Center on the West Kentucky Community and Technical College campus in Paducah.

Tickets are available at the door for $6. Refresh-ments will be available for purchase. Persons who want more information, may call 270-534-3212 or visit http://www.artsinfo-cus.org.
