A lucky few local chefs will compete for a chance at the World Food Championships.

Capital City/Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism Board will host a Super Regional qualifying event March 4, 2021.

Local chefs will be invited to compete for 6 Golden Tickets and the chance to represent the 1st-ever Team Lake Murray Country at the 2021 WFC next fall.

The “Taste of Lake Murray” event will be hosted at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia, where more than 20 chefs are expected to create samples for the event’s 800 patrons.

“We really look forward to learning more about the cuisine and talent from Lake Murray Country,” said Mike McCloud, WFC President and CEO.

“These strategic qualifiers not only highlight the great local cuisine from America’s diverse regions, but they end up giving new groups of chefs and cooks a chance to develop life-long friends at WFC that share the same passion and purpose of food through competition.”
