WORLD FOOD CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL TABLE: NEW ORLEANS SATURDAY CNBC

Ten World Food Champions. Three challenges. One winner. The $100,000 World Food Champion is announced on Saturday, August 24th on CNBC at 11 am CDT.

The two-part documentary special, Final Table: New Orleans, captures the passion and creativity of Food Sport as ten World Food Champions, home cooks and chefs, met in New Orleans earlier this year. Going head-to-head for a $100,000 grand prize, their challenges were: to master Creole-inspired cuisine; to recreate the signature dish of third-generation New Orleans restaurateur, Dickie Brennan; and to impress CEO Rick Blount and Executive Chef Rich Lee of Antoine’s, the oldest family run restaurant in the United States.  

“This was a tremendous and challenging Final Table,” commented Mike McCloud, President & CEO of World Food Championships. “Our event produces fantastic champions, but this event put a new spin on it, and our new champion really had to impress the best.”

The World Food Championships 8th Annual Main Event is scheduled for October 16 – 20, 2019 in Dallas.
