The Cookoff started in 1974 and has consistently drawn massive attendance numbers for the 3 day event. It takes place on the southern parking lot of Reliant Stadium with over 250 teams participating every year and is generally considered a ‘Hot Ticket’ to get into the variety of the tents as most are for members or invitation only.
