The 13th year of the World’s Largest Biscuits and Gravy Competition was a smashing success, with record attendance and proceeds — all benefiting Boys & Girls Haven! More than 30 professional chefs and home cooks showcased their best gravy recipes for judges Brandi Alexander, Jereme McFarland, and Melissa Born. Competitors were divided into three categories: Traditional (pork sausage roux), Non-Traditional (brown, red-eye, chorizo) and Vegetarian/Vegan. Attendees also voted for their favorite recipe and the winner was awarded the People’s Choice Award. Click here for a full list of winners!

​2026 was extra special with returning emcee Mike Bucci, an appearance by Miss Kentucky 2025 Ariana Rodriguez and a brand new venue: Louisville Slugger Field (West Hall of Fame, Louisville Slugger Field's unique indoor event space). Thank you to the sponsors, attendees, chefs, judges, volunteers, vendors, and staff that made this day one to remember.
