Event Details
Labor Day Weekend 2026
(Sunday- Sept 6th from 1p-6p)
Handlebar- St. Louis, Missouri
Four Categories. Four Crowns. One Epic Showdown.
👑 The Smokehouse Crown
Awarded to the competitor who brings the boldest smoked, grilled, or BBQ-inspired creation of the competition.
We are looking for deep flavor, serious technique, perfect texture, unforgettable presentation, and a dish powerful enough to rule the smokehouse.
This is not the category for playing it safe. Bring the smoke, bring the sauce, and bring something St. Louis will be talking about long after Labor Day weekend.
🍰 Sweet Victory
This category celebrates the infused dessert or sweet treat that completely steals the show.
From cakes and pastries to candies, puddings, cookies, and unexpected creations, competitors must deliver the perfect balance of flavor, creativity, presentation, and elevated indulgence.
One bite could change everything.
🎨 The High Concept
The High Concept is for the risk-takers, visionaries, and culinary rule-breakers.
This award will go to the most imaginative infused creation—the dish that surprises the crowd, challenges expectations, and pushes infused cuisine into exciting new territory.
Unexpected flavors. Innovative infusion methods. Original presentation. A concept nobody saw coming.
This is where food becomes art.
🌿 Green Munchies
Plant-based does not mean basic.
Green Munchies will honor the best vegan or plant-based creation in the competition. The winning dish must be flavorful, creative, satisfying, beautifully presented, and strong enough to compete with every other plate in the building.
Come ready to prove that plants can bring serious pressure.
