The banana pudding recipe that Rhonda Sweet’s family passed down for generations was so good, it earned her a spot on Season 2 of “MasterChef,” starring Gordon Ramsay. She made it to the top 25 before turning in her apron.
“I knew it was TV, but I didn’t understand I was there to sell myself and be a character,” Sweet says. “Being on that show helped me get my business started. I tell people, ‘You know I got kicked off, right?’ They say, ‘It doesn’t matter. You’ve been on TV.’”
Sweet appeared on the show in 2011, about a year after quitting her job as regional manager of a restaurant chain to pursue her passion for cooking. After being eliminated, she moved to Dallas and started her catering business, Sweet Moses Brands.
