These talented local vendors will showcase their cheesiest, creamiest, and most creative takes on everyone’s favorite comfort food.

This year’s competitors include 2Gingers Catering, Abilene Country Club, Chef Sheasby Catering, Food Theorie, H-E-B, Mezamiz Coffee House, Red Robin, Sharon’s Barbeque & Catering, Southern Delights by Michele, The LIFT, and Wylie High School’s Advanced Culinary Program.

Guests will have the chance to vote for People’s Choice and Kid’s Choice awards, while a panel of judges selects the ultimate winner, “The Big Cheese.” Whether you’re a foodie, a family, or a fan of fun, this event is the perfect mix of flavor and philanthropy.

Every Bite Helps a Child

All proceeds stay right here in Abilene, supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission to ignite the power and promise of youth through one-to-one mentoring relationships.
