Getting Closer to great candied pecans. 👀

The Madison Public Market is proud to welcome Fortune Favors — a nationally loved gourmet pecan company that started right here in Madison.

What began as a happy kitchen accident by Chef Eric Rupert, whose culinary career spans L’Etoile, the Madison Club, Epic Systems, and beyond, has grown into a brand now found in 3,000+ retail locations across all 50 states.

And now, they’re coming home.

Fortune Favors is bringing its signature handcrafted candied pecans to the Public Market, along with plans to collaborate with fellow Market merchants and help create new energy, discovery, and community downtown.

Sweet. Toasted. Crunchy. Completely addictive.

Trust us, you’ll smell them before you see them.

Come find them. Bring friends.

MADISON, WI. — Fortune Favors founder and Chef Eric Rupert once made the critical mistake of leaving his car windows down while parked behind the kitchen. He was already halfway down the road when he heard what he described as “a rustling sound with criminal intent” coming from the backseat.

Hank, the squirrel living in the tree behind Fortune Favors HQ, had unlawfully entered the vehicle in pursuit of candied pecans.

The car was safely parked and the suspect safely evacuated the premises. Chef Eric reports that Hank did not tip for this rideshare experience.

Because safety remains our top priority, Fortune Favors is issuing the following official guidance:

🐿️ THE “RUPERT RULE”
If your vehicle is carrying Fortune Favors, keep your windows up. Hank and his associates do not recognize the concept of “private property” when delicious pecans are involved.

🐿️ DO NOT AWAKEN THE HUNGER
Once neighborhood squirrels experience Fortune Favors, something changes. Experts describe it as “an irreversible craving for crunchy pecans.” For your own protection, avoid sharing with local wildlife.

🐿️ IN A JAM? CALL GOLDIE 🐾

Goldie, our Squirrel Security Specialist, remains on active patrol for critter-related shenanigans. Her full speed "zoomies" have successfully discouraged several suspicious woodland thieves.

*While Goldie can be trusted around pecans, exercise caution while serving chicken.

At Fortune Favors, we talk a lot about enchanted moments. To us, that means the kind of shared wonder that turns an ordinary day into something extraordinary. ✨

While today is about honoring the women who raised us, we’re also raising a glass (and a pecan) to ALL the magic-makers. Whether you’re a mom, a dog-mom, a mentor, a favorite aunt, or the person who keeps the heart of your friend group beating—we see you. 🐿️

Being a "Maker" isn’t just about what you do; it’s about the care you pour into the world. Thank you for the magic you create every day.

P.S. Still need a gift for a magic-maker in your life? Our candied pecans are such a showstopper, they won't even notice they're a little late. Consider it an "extended celebration." 😉
