The annual event crowns champions in 10 categories, with the champions taking home $10,000 packages in cash and prizes. Categories are barbecue, chef, chili, burger, dessert, sandwich, bacon, steak, seafood and recipe.“If they do that, become champions, they’ll be allowed to come to what we call the final table, which is a $100,000 opportunity, which is the biggest payday in professional cooking,” McCloud said.
