There's electricity in the air at all the Bake-Off® Contests--but at the first event that simply wasn't enough. Mere hours before Pillsbury's first Bake-Off® Contest in 1949, known then as the Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest, organizers were dismayed to find that baking in the world's largest kitchen would be impossible! The 100 brand-new electric ranges that had been carefully set up in the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel needed alternating current to run, but the generator that supplied the hotel provided only direct current. In the quiet of the night, Pillsbury had electricians break a hole in the wall and drop a cable down into the city's subway system, to tap into the alternating current cable there. (A more colorful version of this tale holds that the power was tapped from the subway's third rail. Although this isn't true, it's a great story to impress young electricians with.)
