Ever dined at a restaurant only to declare, “My (fill in the blank) is WAY better!”? ….Are you the chef at that restaurant? Either way, if you have killer kitchen skills, this competition’s for you.
Competing is FREE! You will provide enough sample-size (like 1-2 bites) portions for at least 100 people. Masses of hungry voters will approach with haste, so the more servings you prepare, the more likely more people will get to try your food. You can expect to serve up to 200 to 300+ people depending on the venue! Should you run out before the end of the tasting period, stragglers might lose out on your droolworthy creations!
At SF Food Wars, victory is sweet (and sometimes savory). There are excellent prizes to be won including cold hard ca$h, yummy food items, and gift certificates to some of the best food-related establishments in SF. And don’t forget the all-too important bragging rights of being a tried and tested SF Food Wars champion! And the trophies. Gotta love the trophies.
