About this Event
Join us for Fight Fest as we bring together past Culinary Fight Club winners for the ultimate food sport battle.
You will be front and center as chefs present their best bite. You get to try every dish and vote for your favorite bite. Your vote and the judges' votes combine to select the top 4 chefs to move on to the ultimate food sport battle, the Final Plate.
The final 4 Chefs will have 45 minutes, limited resources, and a selection of key ingredients to create the dish worthy of our national championship title.
You, the audience, will get to try bites from every Round 1 competitor, sample sponsor products and beverages, enjoy the action close up, and celebrate the winners with us.
