Grand Rapids, MI

Michigan State Fair
Matt is a big fan of cooking (pasta sauces and whatnot) but had never baked when he prepared what would be the best baked pie at the Michigan State Fair. His girlfriend gave him the recipe when she decided they should compete together. Matt tells us his “first place” shows how easy it is for anyone to learn how to bake a pie. Matt was in corporate events in Chicago before recently moving back to his Michigan hometown.
