The Crystal Cajun Cook-Off features ten professional and ten amateur chefs competing in respective categories for the title of best Cajun/Creole dish.
Due to city of St. Louis Department of Health policies attendees are not able to sample the fare prepared by the competing chefs.  However, attendees receive four tickets to sample Cajun/Creole specialties prepared by a catering company. Additional sample tickets are available for purchase.

In addition to the four sample tickets attendees also can partake in unlimited samples of Schlafly beer products, Southern Comfort Hurricanes, and soft drinks while enjoying live music by Spur.
