Man vs. Vegas
The World Food Championships (WFC) has announced a partnership with Bally’s Las Vegas for their November 1-4 festival and cooking competition.
Bally’s is set to be the official host, with additional festival events taking place at Paris Las Vegas and Caesars Palace.
The Travel Channel’s porcine presenter of Man vs. Food fame, Adam Richman will host.
"Bally’s Las Vegas is the perfect home for the inaugural World Food Championships," said Jeffrey Frederick, vice president of food and beverage for Bally’s Las Vegas. "Right in the center of the Strip, Bally’s partnership with the World Food Championships will give guests the opportunity to taste a wide variety of America’s favorite dishes from amateur and professional chefs. The competition will transform a section of Las Vegas Boulevard, with events spread across three resorts, creating one of the largest food competitions this city has ever seen."
Cooks will be competing for a prize pot of $300,000 in seven categories that run the gamut of traditional American food styles with nary a macrobiotic morsel in sight: BBQ, Chili, Burger, Sandwich, Recipe Championship, Side Dish and Chef’s Challenge.
No word yet on how much of the challengers’ food Richman will actually stuff down his gullet.
