The National
Cornbread Festival
The 16th Annual National Cornbread Cook-Off
Set in the foothills of Southern Tennessee, the finals of the National Cornbread Cook-Off, sponsored by Martha White® and Lodge® Cast Iron, took place in South Pittsburg on April 28, 2012. The challenge? Finding the best original main dish cornbread recipe in the United States prepared with at least one package of Martha White Cornbread Mix – and made in Lodge® cast iron cookware. The 10 finalists served up steep competition with a side of warm, delicious cornbread as judges took on the difficult task of selecting three prize winners.
And the winners are...
