The World Food Championships (WFC) is one of the largest culinary competitions in the world, often called the “Ultimate Food Fight.”
It brings together home cooks, professional chefs, and competition teams from around the globe to compete in various categories like Bacon, Burger, Barbecue, Dessert, Sandwich, Seafood, Soup, Steak and more.
Winners in each category earn cash prizes and the chance to compete for the title of World Food Champion — along with a $100,000 grand prize.
Competitors qualify through “Golden Tickets," earned by winning sanctioned local or regional contests, or through special partner events and online recipe contests.
The WFC uses a unique EAT™ Methodology (Execution, Appearance, and Taste) to judge entries, ensuring consistent, fair scoring across all dishes.
So, I took a course to learn to become a judge.
The event is open to the public, and spectators can watch the live cooking action, attend tastings, demos, and food-focused experiences.
Judging is based on - Execution (how well it was cooked/prepared), Appearance (presentation and visual appeal) and Taste (flavor balance and overall deliciousness).
As part of my course, I enjoyed two samples: turkey bolognese with polenta and roasted turkey with ubi mash.
