Only judges who become E.A.T.™ certified will be eligible to enjoy judging privileges at WFC. Don't miss your chance to become an E.A.T.™ certified judge!
Back by popular demand, the World Food Championships and its barbecue partners will be serving up free fixins for Texas-sized appetites.

The World Food Championships’ Granny Grilling Challenge is a unique competition that’s been featured on a special segment on Delish. For this year’s throwdown, four talented grannies will have to put their grilling gear on as they’ll be challenged to a live-action grill-off! Each granny will be given a “mystery box” of ingredients to create their entry dish. With no prior knowledge of what products they will have access to, they will have to let their culinary skills and imagination take the lead.
The competition will be hosted by fellow WFC grannies, Chef Nancy Manlove (The Nana Chef) and Mary Edwards (a veteran Food Champ). They are sure to throw some curveballs into this already action packed Granny competition so don’t miss it!
*Included with General Admission ticket purchase on Saturday, Nov. 6.
