  • Come hungry to the World Food Championships, obviously.
  • Wear comfortable attire, i.e. walking shoes and layers. It’s an indoor/outdoor event.
  • Bring the kids; they’ll love watching their peers in the WFC Junior competition.
  • Samples abound, but you can’t eat the dishes from the competitions unless you … Purchase a premium ticket to the Burger Battle, Dessert Smash, or Ignite!
  • BBQ Party.
  • Noncompetitive offerings include chef talks, live music, games, and more.
  • But the most avid food sport lovers shouldn’t miss Sunday’s final round, when the top contestants battle it out and are crowned.
