Brought to you by Irvine’s Spirits and presented by GOYA Foods and Milagro Tequila, this year’s Chef Showdown is set to be more thrilling than ever. Following back-to-back years of sold-out success, the competition heats up once again with eight battles and 16 chefs, one additional battle to last year, including all reigning champions, hosting their own “battle pavilions” where showdown attendees will sample and vote on their favorite dish in eight epic showdowns. Throughout the evening, chefs from each battle will take the Publix Culinary Showdown stage for live demos of their dishes, where Chef Ref, Robert Irvine will give them 15 minutes to make the full showcase of their dish, as final judges determine the winner of each battle. The complete chef lineup will be revealed in March.

The final day of the festival brings one of the most anticipated food events of the year: the day-long Grand Tasting, brought to you by Breakthru Beverage Florida, presented by GOYA Foods, and hosted by Publix.
