Build A Bowl 2019 Contest WINNERS

We were so excited to partner with Hellmann’s again this year to present the 2019 “Build A Bowl” Contest! We asked you to make a creative food bowl using one of four Hellmann’s dressings – Spicy Hatch Chile, Smoked Peach, Lemon Zaatar, and Charred Tomato and Garlic – for the chance to win some incredible prizes.

The Grand Prize was a knife roll from Boldric, a set of Wusthof knives, AND a custom blade from Nora Knives. There was also a voting portion where your peers could vote for the dish they thought should win the People’s Choice Prize – $250 to True Cooks and $250 to Spiceology! Over the course of the competition, we received so many amazing entries that we decided to also share 5 honorable mentions who will be receiving a Chef’s Roll swag pack. Scroll below to see our winners for the #BuildABowl2019 contest! 

Congrats to our winners and thanks to all who participated! You can see all the incredible bowl entries at #BuildABowl2019!
