WFC and Dallas College hosted a special event for the Hotel Association of North Texas, which includes more than 200 members throughout the North Texas area.
Nine of those teams earned their way into the 11th Annual WFC, which will be held at the Centennial Hall of Fair Park, November 8-12. The event is often described as the cooking version of March Madness and attracts more than 300 teams from around the world as they cook their way through challenges that could reward them with more than $100,000 in prize money.
“This is always one of our most competitive and impressive qualifiers,” commented Mike McCloud, the founder of WFC. “The level of talent and passion represented by HANTX members is second to none. Every single dish we saw in this qualifier was creative and unique.” This was the third year that HANTX partnered with WFC and Dallas College to showcase the talents of its
hospitality members.
“Our hotel chefs are an incredibly innovative and talented group of individuals that have passion for what they do. That passion shows through their culinary creations that delight their hotel guests and groups. This qualifier is a wonderful way to showcase their skills and creativity,” said Traci Mayer, executive director of HANTX.

1 Omni Las Colinas
