Cooking / Event

  • Teams are responsible for providing the necessary equipment and supplies for the cook-off. This includes, but is not limited to, tents, personal chairs or tables, cooking equipment, cooking supplies, spoons, forks, bowls, napkins, tent-securing technology, etc.
  • Teams will also be responsible for their own rice, which can be pre-cooked.
  • The Gumbo must be assembled and cooked on-site. The pre-cooking and prepping of meats, broth, roux, etc. is permitted, but a pre-cooked or pre-assembled gumbo is not and will result in disqualification from the main competition or any sub-categories, (you may still cook for the guests.) You are not permitted to cook with electricity unless you have your own power source.
  • Team Check-in is from 8:00-8:45 AM. If you are not checked in during the designated check-in period, you are still welcome to cook for guests but will not be eligible for any type of voting by judges and or fans. 
  • You may begin cooking as soon as you are set up, but not prior to 6:00 AM. Even if you are set up and cooking prior to the check-in period, you are still required to check in with a UL DU Member during the designated period or time. 
  • There will be a mandatory team meeting at 9:00 AM, in which we will explain the events of the day further, as well as Fan Favorite, and other important info. You must have one representative from your team come to the meeting. If there is not one representative available, you must notify a UL DU member as soon as possible, and they will act as your stand-in representative. 
  • Judging Cups (which will be provided at team-check in) and will be due to the judges at 12:15. The teams will be allowed to begin serving at 12:00 PM. 
  • The expected turnout of the event is around 150 individuals but may be more or less. 
  • If your gumbo includes standard allergens (i.e peanut oil, nuts, peanut dust, etc.) you must have it visibly listed on your booth.
