Foodie Wars

Foodie Wars returns as the centerpiece of Not Oktoberfest, bringing together Brighton’s culinary team and guest chefs from across Utah for a weekly head-to-head competition. Each weekend features a new themed battle ranging from burgers and pizza to pasta, wraps, and more.

Guests can purchase tasting passes to sample the lineup, vote on their favorites, and help decide who takes home the title. A portion of every tasting pass supports the Utah Food Bank and the Boyne Forever Foundation, making every bite part of something bigger.
