World Food Championships in Alabama
The World Food Championships — the largest competition in Food Sport — takes place November 7 through 11, 2018, at The Wharf, Orange Beach, Alabama. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Last year, more than 1,200 contestants on 419 teams came from 48 states and 14 foreign countries to compete in 10 official categories. This year’s schedule is online.
The 2018 World Food Championships will highlight some of the most iconic cuisines around the globe. Categories include: Barbecue, Chili, Sandwich, Burger, Dessert, Bacon, Seafood, Steak and Chicken.
Using the EAT methodology, and a hybrid of sanctioned and celebrity judging processes in a tournament style competition, the World Food Championships will identify winners in each of the nine key categories of competition. Once the champions of each category are crowned, they will meet at the Final Table for “ultimate bragging rights and a pile of cash”.
When the Final Table judges have their say, one competitor will be left standing as the World Food Champion. It should be quite a show.
General admission is $10 for a day pass, or $25 for a weekend pass at the gate (children 12 years and under get in free).
