Cooks will collect $1/tasting and $2 (or more) for a vote for the favorite. Attendees “vote” with their dollars. The Cook/Cook Team who collect the most dollars win. First, Second and Third place winners will receive a trophy and Winners Baskets full of goodies.
Hot Dog Cook-Off Competitors: Bring all ingredients (or the finished entry) and whatever cooking or heating device you need to create your entry (if cooking on site) and serve your samples. There will be electric outlets for crock pots and electric devices. Bring an extension cord if you have an electric device. There will be some tables available, on a first come, first serve basis. Feel free to bring a table, tent and anything you’d like to decorate your Cook space. Making your space fun will bring more people to you, increasing your chances of winning a trophy! Think outside the bun and be creative with your entry.
