We're excited to see the field of competitors who have already won their golden ticket and registered to compete at the 2025 World Food Championships. And we are always proud to announce our special guests and celebrity judges participating in our judging events across the nation - we're sure the championship food certainly helps! Best of luck to our 2025 competitors!

COMPETITOR
Kurella's Kitchen
HEAD COOK: Laura Kurella
COMPETITION: World Noodle Championship
Laura is a multi award-winning home cook, journalist, and author who was drawn into the wild world of food due to the tragic loss of her father. Turning that pain into a purpose, Laura seeks to raise awareness of the incredible difference home-cooking makes in your (and loved one's) life. "Be kind to yourself. Eat in your dining room, not a drive-thru!" XOXOXO Thrilled to turn in her third GOLDEN TICKET to compete at the World Food Championships (2025-NOODLE, 2023-SOUP, 2015-SEAFOOD), Laura is super-excited to be attending, and be assisted by her "all sisters" team. She's also hoping that "practice makes perfect" this year, so this unique "all sisters" team can experience the blessings of a win!
