Categories include: Barbeque, Chili, Sandwich, Steak, Burger, Dessert, Bacon, Seafood and Recipe.  

The theme for the Recipe category this year is Breakfast. Competitors have qualified throughout the year at various food competitions, bringing them to this $300,000 event. 

This is a tournament style competition with sanctioned and celebrity judging that will identify the winners of each category.  Once that has been done, then the winners will vie at the Final Table and the opportunity to take home a pile of cash.

Orange Beach Chamber of Commerce officials say this is one of the most popular events held throughout the year, drawing thousands of visitors to the area during the “off season” for the popular vacation destination.
