Football is woven into our southern souls. As the teams prepare for another season so should the fans. At the beach we have a special way to get our tailgating game in shape. We start off with the Annual Coastal Tailgate Cook-Off Challenge at the Wharf.

The theme of this year's challenge is BACON! You and your tailgate team can come sample great culinary ideas from local Chefs and even vote for the BEST pre-game food entry.

Inviting all foodies, sports fans, and culinary masters: The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber is excited to announce the return of our Coastal Tailgate Cook-Off Challenge at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.
 

This is not your ordinary cook-off - it's a high-energy, game day atmosphere where attendees can sample a variety of tailgate style foods featuring bacon in a starring role from some of the best culinary teams/individuals around. Attendees can also expect live music, games, and of course some good eats. So come hungry and come excited. This is an event you won't want to miss.

And for competitors, the stakes are high! Teams/individuals will be competing for a golden ticket to the World Food Championships in Indianapolis, IN to compete in the BACON category! PLUS attendees will be voting on a People's Choice Award. The winning team will receive a trophy and prize package.

We'll also be giving away an award to the best dressed fan, so gear up to support your favorite team!
