Imagine some of the world’s greatest trained chefs gathering in one place to show off their culinary talent — in a competition-style, LIVE head-to-head event! Sound appetizing? We thought so! That's why the World Food Championships featured a World Chef Challenge, pitting great chefs in a skills, recipe and taste challenge unlike anyone's ever seen as they battle it out for their share of fortune and fame. At the end of the day, the winning chef won $10,000 and a seat at the WFC Final Table for a shot at their share of the $75,000 grand prize as they tried their best to impress a panel of celebrity judges with their ultimate dish of deliciousness!
