The Basics

This event is an annual tradition of up to 20 Grill Teams battling it out in good fun to see who has the BEST Steak right in front of Seville Quarter. This achievement is memorialized with the traveling iconic butcher block & cleaver - People's Choice Award! The event has evolved over the past decade to become the most signature event on the Emerald Coast drawing in guests from all over. What has not changed is the commitment to doing good and the Certified Angus New York Strip Steak provided by Winn-Dixie, our Presenting Sponsor since inception.

On October 11th, 2024 we will kick it off with a red carpet VIP reception starting at 5:15pm in Heritage Hall at Seville Quarter, serenaded by Pensacola's Jazz Society's Trio. The VIP beverage selection will feature seltzer refreshments and premium brews provided by Gulf Distributors, J. Lohr & Inscription wines provided by Republic Distributors, a new and refreshing line of soda provided by Big Jerk Sodas, and frozen cocktails provided by Margaritas To Go. A loaded mash potato bar with all the toppings and Seville's signature salad bar complete the VIP hall with everything you need to taste and judge the best steaks of Pensacola.

General Admission gates open at 6:00 pm to enjoy the festivities and stroll through the streets of Seville with up to 20 Teams grilling for the title and trophy of the BEST Steak! You have the power to vote for the team that made your mouth water. If they knocked it out of the park dollars count for votes and go to a great cause, too! Kulture Kreated is back again to bring a great DJ show kicking off the party in the courtyard where Seville's mashed potato bar and salad bar will be available. Peruse & bid on exciting items in the silent auction provided by Michelle Salzman's Riveter Royalty benefiting our local non-profit beneficiaries. Experience the LED Light Dancers of Entertainment Ignited lighting up the streets for this exciting evening of community impact. What goes amazing with the best steak, Seville's mashed potato bar and salad to bring it over the top for your taste buds? General Admission also includes 2 beverage tickets for either beer on tap provided by Gulf Distributors or white or red wines provided by Republic Distributors. We conclude the evening with presenting awards for the Professional Judge's 1st, 2nd, & 3rd steak culminating in the grand finale with the People's Choice Award.
