WFC Announces Structured and Infused Build information

The 2013 World Food Championships features an exciting tournament structure that will create culinary drama while truly highlighting all competitors’ abilities to create a recipe and work within their defined field as they try to set themselves apart from the rest of the field.

Competitors in each category will have multiple rounds of turn-ins and competitions as they seek food, fame and fortune in Las Vegas. The World Food Championships is pleased to share the specific requirements of the various builds for each category today (9/27/13). The competitor packets will be updated with this information at the beginning of next week.

Please note, there has been one specific change to turn-in times for Burger, Sandwich, Bacon, Recipe and Dessert. To accommodate a request from our television partners, we have moved the first turn-in up 15 minutes from what was previously announced. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
