COMPETITION OVERVIEW
NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014
PRIZE PURSE $300,000
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
The field for the 2014 World Food Championships will be expanded to nine categories with 550 competitor spots. Returning categories include: Barbecue, Chili, Sandwich, Burger, Dessert, Bacon and Recipe, while Pasta and Seafood have been added as the two new categories. As in years past, the Recipe category is based on a theme of food, and this year that theme will be Cheese.
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 seven 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 smoke clears and the Final Table judges have their say one lucky competitor will be left standing as the World Food Champion.
