You do not have to be a professional cook to compete. Gather family, friends, coworkers, or fellow parishioners, choose a team name, and bring the jambalaya recipe everyone always asks you to make. Teams will compete in the inaugural cook-off with judging and community voting during the event.
Why put together a team?
- Compete for inaugural-year bragging rights
- Show off a family or neighborhood recipe
- Create a team theme and make the tent your own
- Spend the evening with friends while the games play nearby
- Help build a new St. Pius X community tradition
