LIVE FIRE
COOKING ASSOCIATION
ABOUT US
The Live Fire Cooking Association is a food sport sanctioning body created to give live fire cooking its own identity, structure, and future. Cooking over flame, coals, embers, wood, and smoke is one of the oldest culinary traditions in human history, and today, it is also one of the most creative and exciting frontiers in competitive cooking. The LFCA was built to honor that tradition and accelerate its growth through fair competition, consistent judging standards, cook team recognition, education, events, and community connection.
