WOW! What an unforgettable Ultimate Infused Showdown 2025! The event exceeded all expectations, with over 200 attendees celebrating the best of cannabis-infused culinary creations. The energy was high, the food was incredible, and the competition was fierce. We can’t thank you enough for making this infused culinary battle the talk of the town!
As featured in Sauce Magazine and NPR, this year’s showdown truly raised the bar, with St. Louis’ best cannabis chefs and cooks bringing their A-game. Our judges had the tough task of selecting the most innovative, flavorful, and downright delicious infused dishes. And the best part? The winners didn’t just take home $1,100 cash prizes, trophies, and medallions—they also scored an incredible 420 Airbnb getaway to Traverse City, MI, thanks to our amazing partner HillBilly Flats.
