Gumbo YaYa Cook-Off 2020

Here on the Gulf Coast nothing represents us better than a big pot of homemade Gumbo! Join us on Saturday, March 21, 2020 in Phineas Phogg’s at Seville Quarter for Pensacola’s spiciest event yet. From 3 – 6 p.m. amateur and professional teams will compete for bragging rights for the best Gumbo in Pensacola. Each individual gumbo will be judged on taste, smell, color and consistency. Trophies will be awarded to the top three winners. In addition, there is a Showmanship trophy, given for best decoration and entertainment, and the coveted People’s Choice trophy!

Entry to the competition is $20.00 per three-person team and is limited to 15 teams. Seville Quarter will supply tables, burners and a clean-up area. Each team must prepare their gumbo “from scratch” at Seville Quarter. Cooking begins at 11:00 a.m. and the judging begins at 4:00 p.m. The public tasting is from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and costs $10 at the door. For team registration applications or more information contact Buck Mitchell at buck@rosies.com or 850-434-6211. All proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida.
