Bill gives us an inside look at the making of the film which, in its final form seemed improbable, but Bill persevered and the result is a wonderful movie.

Mike McCloud is focused on making Food Sport a long-term, fun-filled legacy for the culinary industry. As the creator of the World Food Championships he appears to be on his way to doing that.

The event was filmed in 2013 for a reality show that aired 2014 on A&E’s FYI Channel. WFC’s 2014 competition grew 35% and culminated in the first $100,000 grand prize. In early 2016, WFC debuted its second television show on the Discovery Network and is now syndicated in 10 countries. Fast forward to 2022 when the WFC celebrated its 10th anniversary and the brand achieved a record-setting media reach of more than 6 billion and the WFC's appeal continues to grow.

Todd Koch is the creator of Dad's Seasonigs, maker of premium rubs. From the Dad's Seasonings website, https://www.dadsseasonings.com/ "Dad, Robert Todd Koch began experimenting with seasonings as a teenager and it became a lifelong passion. Always tinkering with recipes and creating flavors that inspire him and his guests. Dad eventually realized his love for low and slow BBQ. He tried a variety of seasonings, but found most have too much salt. Dad craves Memphis, Texas, and Carolina style BBQ. Dad’s Top Shelf Dry Rubs are Memphis style seasonings. Dad's Seasonings - less salt, more flavor!"
