About this event

Our Culinary Passport puts you in the middle of the world of #FoodSport as you sip, sample and vote on your favorite chef from cutting board to plate-up! IT'S BATTLE BACON!

The Show Me Series is back this year and the steaks are high at the Boathouse at Forest Park as four chefs compete for a shot to be #1 in the world! 1500 chefs and home cooks from 42 countries compete for Top Ten titles and a chance to win $100,000.00.

This year’s event will have a very special guest, the 73-foot MAXimus- Mobile Activation Xperience, a giant mobile kitchen as seen on Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back. This special culinary behemoth showcases and samples throughout the evening as it makes its way across the country #OnTheRoadToDallas for the World Food Championships Main Event in October.

This year’s battle promises to be just as epic because BACON is on the menu!

Ticket holders will taste each chef’s creations so they can cast their vote for the Bite of the Nite™ Sip on bubbles from Moët & Chandon, find craft cocktails from Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch and Belvedere Vodka, Newton Vineyard and La Terraza - Los Andes wines, and nosh on snacks from culinary partners as they become a part of the live-fire cooking competition. It’s a great night not to be missed!
