Foodtruck Wars Flavour Challenges

An important feature of our event will be the Flavour Challenges, two taste testing competitions in two categories. The first category is beverage/dessert/snack, while the second is a main entree category. Competing food vendors submit their selected menu items to be sampled and judged by our panel of guest, celebrity food loving judges! Come and see who will be crowned and awarded the bragging rights as 2023 Foodtruck Wars Flavour Challenge winner! These highly competitive competitions are open to all attending festival food vendors.

2023 FOODTRUCK WARS FLAVOUR CHALLENGE – RULES / INFO

• We are conducting two flavour challenges. We will have a competition involving a beverage, snack and dessert category and another competition for main entrees.
• These challenges are open to all food vendors that are participating in our festival. These challenges are optional, but we strongly urge you to enter.
• The 2023 Foodtruck Wars Flavour Challenges will take place on the Main Stage.
• The Beverage, Snacks & Dessert competition will begin at 11:00 AM Friday July 28, 2023.
• The Main Entrée competition will begin at 11:00 AM Saturday July 29, 2023
• The Food Vendors will be called in alphabetical order.
• You are free to enter a combination of beverage, snacks & dessert items from your menu into the Tuesday competition and an item from your menu into the Wednesday Main Entrée competition. Remember, this is a taste testing competition, but visuals and presentation are important!
• There may be up to 8 judges on the panel and we only want to serve each judge a small sampling. For example if you are entering a Pie and a milkshake in the competition, you would only have to make 1 pie (cut into 8 slices) with 8 small sized milkshakes.
• We will try to let you know approximately what time your entry is to be ready and a Foodtruck Wars representative will bring a couple of trays to transport your entry to the stage. Please have your samples ready before you are called up.
• We would prefer someone from your Truck / Trailer / Booth accompany your food entry to the competition area to be greeted by the judges and the public!
• This event has been designed to raise the profile of each competing vendor, it is designed to be fun and I’m sure it will be entertaining for the crowd! And of course, the winner will receive an engraved “Foodtruck Wars Flavour Challenge Champion” trophy, a winner’s window sticker, plus bragging rights until the 2024 Foodtruck Wars.
• You should all be proud of what you have accomplished! These competitions are going to be very, very hard for the judges to score!
• Vendors are free to enter either or both the dessert challenge & the main entrée challenges.
