Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenneth Marshall.
Kenneth, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My Journey to Create the best tasting Belgian Waffle was the result of not being able to find a waffle on anyone’s menu to deliver the Waffle EXPERIENCE I was looking for and anticipating. They were always too Dry, too Heavy too Breaddy and required a gallon of syrup to make them tolerable. Just by the way a waffle looked, I envisioned it being So Lite, So Crisp and Oh So Delicious on its own that SYRUP could be optional and that’s EXACTLY what I set out to create.
Through trial and error, it took me about 5yrs to PERFECT my Liquid Gold batter. On 5/03/19, during a company, Cinco De Mayo spread I elected to make WAFFLES for my team… They All loved them and And My co-worker at the Time Mr. Michael Dedmon who’s a diehard Cowboys fan, was so blown away by the taste of my waffle he said to me, “That’s just like you Ken, a STEELERS fan sleeping on your gift” and his Statement WAS SLAP IN THE FACE…
I began researching wholesalers and wholesaling, Joined LegalZoom, got my LLC, EIN #, Food handling certifications, and went into production selling 32oz jars of KEN’S FAMOUS WAFFLES batter to coworkers, friends, and family, Through social media sales really took off. In ten months, I’ve sold nearly 450 jars.
Has it been a smooth road?
I’ve attempted to get KEN’S FAMOUS WAFFLES added to the menu of about four different restaurants/night clubs by conducting taste test and sampling with ownership, management and staff, Each time they were all blown away by the taste and expressed interest in wanting to add the WAFFLES to the menu, they all allowed me to set up inside their establishment for a couple of hours and sell my WAFFLES to their customers but the roadblock came with the cost of building the waffle station and having to hire reliable additional staff to man the waffle station.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
KEN’S FAMOUS WAFFLES is a Wholesaler, Catering, and Vendoring Co. We sell 32oz jars of premade WAFFLE Batter for $14.99, Each jar makes between 5 to 7 Belgian waffles depending on how deep your waffle iron grooves are. I added a full Catering menu in Sept 2019, and I offer Buttermilk White meat Chicken Strips, Fried Catfish, q Butterfly Shrimp and Flava Fries.
CURRENTLY I’m best known for making a WAFFLE so DELICIOUS that SYRUP is optional… Which you can’t find anywhere else and the early reports are showing that most individuals can not go back to eating any of the WAFFLES they were eating prior to tasting KEN’S FAMOUS WAFFLES…
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
