West Union baker advances to Hardee’s National Biscuit Baker finals
WEST UNION — An Iowa Hardee’s employee could make some serious dough with her biscuit skills as she advances to the national level of the fast food chain’s baking competition. Valerie Knospe will take her baking skills to Franklin, Tennessee, on Sept. 30, where she will face off against three other regional finalists for a shot at the $10,000 grand prize and National Biscuit Baker champion title. Knospe, 39, has been working at the West Union Hardee’s for five years and has spent a year and a half perfecting her biscuit craft. She advanced to the finals after a regional competition in Manchester, Iowa. The competition highlights the quality and skill that goes into the fast food giant’s breakfast staple.

"You must be patient and realize that you are preparing the products that starts off our guests’ day and that they are counting on me to start their day off on the right foot with a perfect biscuit.” At the finals,
