The list of contestants include Brett Berry of Armadillo Den, Chef Donnie Forehand, Chef Extraordinaire Zack Northcutt and many more....
Armadillo Den will have the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints games playing at noon. There is also a good chance of live music while each contestant submits 3 gallons of their finest Cajun cuisine to be judged by a panel of judges and everyone in attendance! Panel Judges commence at 2:30pm and Peoples Choice judging/sampling begins at 3pm.
