NHS Celebrity-Chef Cook-Off

The exciting NHS Cook-off will return in 2024! Chefs representing exhibitors in our BBQ & Grilling category will once again go head-to-head in the Backyard to show their skills by creating a unique dish using a set of specific ingredients chosen by our host, Mitche Graf from BBQ Nation.

Last year, each chef was tasked with grilling their best burger and whipping up a tasty appetizer, to then be judged by a panel of foodies. The winner of the Cook-Off earned serious bragging rights and a cash prize. Join us on Day 1 (March 26) in the NHS Backyard to see what’s cooking. Chefs will begin at 12:00 PM, and judging will take place at 2:00 PM.
