The Department of Culinary Arts is proud to present

The Annual Bigglebottom’s Cookoff!

A time-honored tradition since the establishment of the Culinary Arts Department, the annual Bigglebottom’s Cookoff is an intense battle of culinary skill open to all majors. Participants face off in a tournament-style bracket that starts in February and finishes in April, testing their abilities against those of their peers in innovative culinary challenges. Excellent taste is the baseline; dishes are also assessed on magical properties, presentation, and creativity. The Cookoff is judged by an impartial, rotating panel of guest gourmets to ensure a fair competition. Prizes for past winners have included a tour of Fort Bigglebottom, access to rare ingredients, substantial monetary rewards, and—of course—the prestige that accompanies the title of Cookoff Champion!

Don’t miss out on one of the most anticipated events of the year!
