How Judging Works
1
The winner of the $5,000 grand prize for Best Food Truck, the $2,500 Runner Up and $1,500 Third Place truck will be decided by a panel of five local professional chefs and at least five roving anonymous volunteer judges.
2
The chef judges will base their scores on a combination of factors including: Flavor/Taste, Presentation/Visual Appeal and Creativity/Originality from a signature dish chosen by the truck, to be delivered at a prescribed time without disclosure of the truck’s identity.
3
The anonymous judges will provide scores for Truck/Cart Design, Customer Service/Friendliness/Hospitality and Menu Variety/Value/Originality that will be added to the chef judges’ scores to determine the 1st through 3rd place winners.
4
A $1,000 “People’s Choice” award winner will also be determined by attendee votes the day of the competition. Attendees will be limited to one vote per mobile device for their favorite food truck.
