Mitch’s Travel: Bally’s Las Vegas set to host the first-ever World Food Championships on Nov. 1-4, 2012


The World Food Championships (WFC) announced today a partnership with Bally’s Las Vegas as the official host of the four-day food festival and cooking competition. Additional events will take place at Paris Las Vegas and Caesars Palace, all at the heart of the famed Las Vegas Strip. Television’s Adam Richman will play host to the festivities Nov. 1 through Nov. 4.The alliance will transform the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Boulevard into a food epicenter with unrivaled competition and culinary experiences, when food champions from across the United States will compete for fame and fortune.


With a total prize pot of $300,000, the World Food Championships will feature seven categories: BBQ, Chili, Burger, Sandwich, Recipe Championship, Side Dish and Chef’s Challenge. Each of the seven category competitions will take place at Bally’s Las Vegas on Nov. 2 and 3. Throughout the competitions, several People’s Choice and VIP opportunities will occur near the Strip and at Paris Las Vegas. On Nov. 4, the ultimate food battle, where each of the champions from the seven categories will go head-to-head for the main prize purse, will occur at a Final Table in front of the iconic Caesars Palace. This showdown will be judged by a panel of seven celebrity/culinary judges, including WFC spokesman Adam Richman, star of the Travel Channel’s “Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich in America” and “Man v. Food: Nation,” and author of “America the Edible” and the upcoming “Quest for the Best.”


“The World Food Championships is unlike any culinary event Las Vegas has ever seen and we feel that Bally’s Las Vegas is the ideal location,” said Mike McCloud, president of Trybe Targeting, the company producing the four-day event. “WFC is the ultimate food showdown, and in a city known for world-class food and entertainment, there is no better place to host this event. “

“Bally’s Las Vegas is the perfect home for the inaugural World Food Championships,” said Jeffrey Frederick, vice president of food and beverage for Bally’s Las Vegas. “Right in the center of the Strip, Bally’s partnership with the World Food Championships will give guests the opportunity to taste a wide variety of America’s favorite dishes from amateur and professional chefs. The competition will transform a section of Las Vegas Boulevard, with events spread across three resorts, creating one of the largest food competitions this city has ever seen.”

breakfast food Post Post cereal products reviews samples United States

Mitch’s Product Review: Post Honey Bunches of Oats cereal

The box of Post Honey Bunches of Oats was there, sitting in the pantry for me to try one morning as I mulled breakfast options before work. I was in a hurry, so cooking was out of the option. Cereal it was – Post Honey Bunches of Oats, that is. It was my first time sampling it, so I was intrigued by the 10 grams of Whole Grain and 9 essential vitamins and minerals named by Post. It was certainly tasty, as I had the Honey Roasted flavor, which contained only 6 grams of sugar. My husband certainly liked the Whole Grain factor.


I must say I was sufficiently satisfied, and after eating, I was soon out of the door to enjoy the rest of my day. For more information, check out the Honey Bunches of Oats on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HoneyBunchesofOats. There you can get a $1 off coupon and interact with other breakfast lovers there. Ciao! 


Editor’s Note: Post provided a free sample of their Honey Bunches of Oats – Honey Roasted for this post. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own, and participation was voluntary.
