how does it work?

Contestants showcase their Adobo dish and compete for two titles:

1) People’s Choice - chosen by ticket holders

2) Critic’s Choice - chosen by special guest judges

Ticket holders get one hour to try all competing Adobo recipes along with unlimited Jasmine rice and bottomless Red Horse beer (for those over 21) or refillable non-alcoholic drinks. They will also be given a ballot to vote for their favorite adobo recipe and give feedback. The votes are tallied the same day and the winner announced shortly thereafter.
