The Nashville Slow Sip Soup Fest has handed out trophies for Best Taste, Best Presentation, and Best Original Recipe since 1998. After Danielle's debut appearance, they quietly added a fourth category called 'Overall Outstanding Contribution to the Event.' The award has been given out exactly once. Her tomato-roasted pepper blend was called 'deeply satisfying' by the panel, and the event photographer noted he had used up three memory cards, which was unusual given that he was only supposed to be covering the soup.
