What on earth is Classic Catering doing with a nearly 8 lb. rubber band ball, you say? The best person to ask is is Lispeth, our Executive Chef.
Amanda: When did you start working on the rubber band ball?
Lispeth: My first day as a chef here. So... about 8 years ago. Mary's mom (Vera) gave me the idea to start a rubber band ball after she came in with her own ball one day. She showed me how to start a rubber band ball, and I haven't stopped adding to it since.
According to Mary Partridge, her mother started her rubber band ball about 10-12 years ago, and once it weighed in at more than 10 lbs., she had to start a new one for lack of gigantic rubber bands!
Amanda: Where do all of the rubber bands come from?
Lispeth: Mainly asparagus and broccoli.
Amanda: That's a lot green veggies!
Lispeth: Yes, and just for the record, I didn't cheat on making it. It takes a lot of patience!
Amanda: Any funny stories about the ball?
Lispeth: Well, Jan's son bounced it the wrong way one day and gave himself a bloody nose. It was not pretty! (Jan is our office manager)
Several clients have seen the magic rubber band ball as well, and have also been fascinated with such a feat. Come on by and we'll introduce you to Lispeth, her culinary expertise, and her magic rubber band ball!
