The World Food Championships (WFC) is organizing a four day food-festival in collaboration with Bally's Las Vegas as the official host of the competition. 

"The World Food Championships is unlike any culinary event Las Vegas has ever seen and we feel that Bally's Las Vegas is the ideal location," said Mike McCloud, president of Trybe Targeting, the company producing the four-day event. "WFC is the ultimate food showdown, and in a city known for world-class food and entertainment, there is no better place to host this event. "

Food champions from across the United States are going to take part in the four--day event to fight for the ultimate battleground. Television celebrity Adam Richman will be hosting the whole event from Nov. 1 through Nov. 4. 

To claim the No. 1  title and the prize money of $300,000, participants have to conquer all the seven categories including, BBQ, Chili, Burger, Sandwich, Recipe Championship, Side Dish and Chef's Challenge. Winner of each of the seven category competitions at Bally's Las Vegas on Nov. 2 and 3 will take part in the final food battle at Paris Las Vegas Nov. 4. Winners from the seven categories will go head-to-head for the main prize reward, which will be organized at the world famous Caesars Palace.

The final show where all the seven finalists fight for the ultimate fame and fortune will be judged by a panel of seven celebrity/culinary judges, including WFC spokesman Adam Richman, star of the Travel Channel's "Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America" and "Man vs. Food: Nation," and author of "America the Edible" and the upcoming "Quest for the Best."  

"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."
