The National Food Showdown was started in 2007, spearheaded by Chef Myrna Segismundo, Managing Director of RESTAURANT 9501/TV FOOD CHEFS, INC., ABS-CBN Corporation. 

History
It was originally organized to fill the void in culinary skills competitions.  In 2008, it partnered with organizations in the regions outside of the National Capital Region (NCR), with Chef Wars emerging as the center of the National Food Showdown.  Bringing the regions to participate in the Manila finals succeeded in making the showdown truly national in scope.

Objective:

The National Food Showdown is envisioned to help develop skills along the lines of tourism and the hospitality industry, for participants not only in Manila but also in the rest of the country.  Partnering with hosts of regional competitions is intended to help encourage the provinces to compete with their counterparts in the NCR. 

This September 21-22 the real battle will begin at the World Trade Center, Manila - 6th National Food Showdown, where one can witness the best of the best in the food industry will showcase their skills, plus other side events that one can enjoy.
