The Joy of Food Sport:
I love competitive cooking and sharing my love of Food Sport with others. World Food Championship 2018 was filled with non-stop action and a whirlwind of excitement. As the returning Bacon World Champion I was faced with the competition of a lifetime, and not to mention, a few added adventures. I arrived in Orange Beach, Alabama November 5, 2018, after a 10-hour drive from my hometown of Houston, Texas. My first round of competition in the Bacon Category was at 9 AM, November 8, 2018. Thankfully, I finished 4th and went on to compete in the Bacon Top Ten on November 10, 2018.

I was invited to host a tasting demo at The World Food Championships - Yacht Club Progressive Dinner Party. I also had the pleasure of competing in the Second Annual Grand Throwdown on Sunday, November 11, 2018. Between shopping and prepping for my regular competition days plus the two other events, I was one busy food sports competitor. Thankfully, I had my awesome team members there to help with shopping, prep, organization, and emotional support. Lisa Keys and Blake Evans, you both rock!The Yacht Club Progressive Dinner Party:
I had a blast at the second annual WFC Yacht Club Progressive Dinner Party. Thankfully, my friend and WFC 2018 sous chef Lisa Keys were there to help as we served 65 people in groups of 8-10 every 15 minutes. Did I mention we finished competing in the Top Ten Bacon showdown just 1 hour before our yacht club demo started? We had just enough time to freshen up then go set up for the event. Food sport is crazy fun!ABOUT THE EVENT
