The 6 categories of competition at CFC include Bacon, Burger, Dessert, Steak, Sandwich, and Seafood. Each round of competition is timed and the dishes are then judged in a double-blind method. The top 2 competitors from each category will win a spot on Team Canada and the honour of being one of Canada’s food champions. There is over $50,000 in prize money to be won at CFC and, for those lucky few, an additional $300,000 prize pot up for grabs at WFC!
