From the world’s largest outdoor kitchen to a VIP Bacon Bar, the World Food Championships’ (WFC) returning bacon sponsor, Wright® Brand Bacon, will be attracting Dallasites to its Main Event with its line of premium products and sizzling attractions.

As part of the Tyson Foods family since 2001, the Wright® brand continues to gather bacon lovers from across the country. This company is a perfect fit as the Official Bacon sponsor of WFC, which is on track to be the largest food fight to date, with over 1,500 cooks traveling from around the globe to battle it out for ten category titles and a shot at the $350,000 prize purse.

“We are so excited to have Wright brand on board for our first year in Dallas,” said Mike McCloud, president and CEO of WFC. “They are helping make our competition our biggest yet and enhance the foodie experience for Dallasites who have never experienced Food Sport.”

Wright® Brand will be involved in several areas at WFC this October, including a special treat for VIP ticket holders. Whether you like your bacon crispy, chocolate dipped, twisted, or wrapped, Wright® brand has an exclusive opportunity that will satisfy all bacon enthusiasts in the Walmart VIP Lounge! A bacon bar will be set up for attendees from Friday, Oct. 18 to Sunday, Oct. 20th with the Fabulous Bacon Babe, Jodi Taffel, whipping up and serving Bacon the Wright Way®.

Apart from adding an exclusive bacon spread in the Walmart VIP Lounge, Wright® Brand will also be providing products for WFC’s general pantry for all cooks to utilize throughout the five-day tournament.

Wright® Brand will also be offering foodies the opportunity to attend WFC’s Main Event at Reunion Tower Lawn for a price that’s easy to swallow –– FREE admission.
