After thinking he had bombed, a Nerepis man, Jason Keary, came up big on the Food Network by winning 25 thousand dollars in the category of cakes, puddings and pies.
Jason's Mini Cheesy Bee's Nests are now being sold in the Superstore and he's in line to win a quarter of a million dollars.
Keary says out of necessity he created a tart with philo pastry filled with cream cheese, honey and eggs topped off with grated mozzarella and peaches.
He lost what he calls his dream job as a rope access technician and industrial rescue specialist in 2010 before having to take menial jobs and then declaring bankruptcy.
Keary will now await the final online vote from fans in December.
