Bryan Ford on Judging Ultimate Baking Championship and Why Bread Is Life

Bryan Ford joins the pod to talk about judging Food Network’s new competition series Ultimate Baking Championship and what it was like watching some of the most skilled pastry chefs in the country go head-to-head. He shares why blind judging raises the stakes, what separates technically perfect baking from something truly special, and how storytelling plays a role even in the most precise desserts. Plus, Bryan opens up about opening Diljan Bakery in Brooklyn, exploring Afghan baking traditions, and how his self-taught path helped shape the way he approaches both baking and business today. Follow Food Network on Instagram: HERE Follow Jaymee Sire on Instagram: HERE Follow Bryan on Instagram: HERE Learn More about Ultimate Baking Championship: HERE  Hosted on Acast.
