World Food Championships Kissimmee 2015

Everyone loves the sun and Florida has more than it's fair share. It's a state that I need to explore more as it is ever popular with so many attractions. This is something new to plan for in November. Florida is an up and coming short break destination from Europe. It's not just a two week destination and it's closer to Europe than Vegas!

Kissimmee to host World Food Championships

2015 Experience Kissimmee is excited to announce that the 2015 World Food Championships will be held in the popular Florida resort from 3rd – 10th November 2015. The World Food Championships is the ultimate culinary competition and food festival. Tens of thousands of hopefuls will enter live culinary competitions and online recipe contests to earn a place in this event. Categories include: Dessert, BBQ, Chili, Sandwich, Seafood, Bacon, Burger, Pasta and Recipe (with a fresh food theme).
During a joint media conference, the World Food Championships announced its relocation. "After three years in Las Vegas, we saw an opportunity to move our competition to a destination that affords us a chance to realise our vision of expanding and evolving our overall food experience," commented Mike McCloud, President & CEO of the WFC. Experience Kissimmee President/CEO D.T. Minich said, “Travellers from around the world know us as the gateway to Walt Disney World and the other Orlando area theme parks and attractions. We view the World Food Championships as an event visitors will mark on their calendars each year."

The World Food Championships will see more than 500 competitors enter the tournament. The winner of each category will then compete at the Final Table, where a panel of celebrity and notable judges will determine the ultimate dish and champion of 2015. Visitors to Kissimmee will be able to watch celebrity chef competitions, demonstrations and become part of a fun foodie travel experience. The primary rounds of the competition will be staged in Celebration, the Walt Disney Co. designed community in Osceola County that is popular with international visitors. These rounds will be open and free to the public.

The WFC will also include ticketed tastings and chef demonstrations throughout the week's festivities. All events will be posted on the World Food Championships website. Jo Piani, Experience Kissimmee Account Manager for UK & Ireland added, “The Brits know Kissimmee as the perfect family destination in Florida and ideal base to visit close by world class theme parks and an abundance of natural attractions. The World Food Championships create a new and exciting opportunity for us to attract food lovers and encourage them to visit and enjoy our excellent, diverse culinary offerings.”
