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!
Oh, and just for the record, the world's largest rubber band ball weighs 3,500 lbs. That's a lotta rubber bands!
