2014 Fiery Food Challenge
The MOST Prestigious Fiery Food Competition in the country!
The Fiery Food Challenge, and it's signature award, THE GOLDEN CHILE, is the most widely recognized award for products in the spicy, zesty food industry. For the past decade, the FFC has been a gateway for small businesses to launch their products & get Trade Buyer recognition. Companies who have entered products in the FFC over the past decade know the value of this award. The Fiery Food Challenge Awards Presentation, held on Friday evening during show weekend, gives the opportunity for small business owners to meet, enjoy great food, and cheer each other on during the awards presentation. The FFC is the "Oscars" of this industry, and the Golden Chile is OUR coveted award.
The judging takes place for three days prior to Zestfest. This is a "blind" tasting involving close to 100 judges. With specific guidelines in place, the judging is based on a proven scoring method and sampling. The 2013 Fiery Food Challenge had over 700 entries, with everything from sauces to salsas, rubs and seasonings, beverages, prepared foods, and even desserts. Our judges are restauranteurs, chefs, caterers, qualified "chileheads", and even a few general consumers. This year, we are honored to welcome back
Cajohn Hard as our Senior Product Consultant. John will be working with Amy Bigham, FFC Coordinator, and will be overseeing the entries and judging. We'll miss having his great products to sample and taste, but his knowledge in the industry is second-to-none!
