The World Food Championships (WFC) is an international cooking competition hosting its ninth annual event in Dallas, Texas at Fair Park from 05–09 November 2021. The competition puts chefs and home cooks on a level playing field, all competing for a piece of the $350,000 prize purse. After three rounds of challenges across ten categories, ten Category Champions are crowned and will later reconvene to battle it out at The Final Table for the World Food Champion title and $100,000 grand prize. With 2020 being cancelled on grounds of COVID-19 pandemic, the 9th was deferred to 2021.
