Homegrown culinary competition Titans of Tailgate is back this Sunday for its ninth year — and this time with San Antonio celebrity chef Jason Dady partnering with Culinaria, the nonprofit behind the event. 

This year’s festivities will take place at the Rock at La Cantera at 1 Spurs Way, and as per previous installments, guests will sample tailgate bites from more than 30 participating local chefs and vote on their favorites.

Top San Antonio chefs including PJ Edwards of Meadow Neighborhood Eatery, Berty Richter of Ladino, Esaul Ramos of 2M Smokehouse, Nicola Blaque of The Jerk Shack and others will take part in the high-octane competition.

Tickets, which range from general admission to VIP, are still available.

Admission proceeds will support Culinaria’s mission of funding culinary programs in Alamo City high schools. Representatives from six area high schools are even scheduled to take part in the competition, battling alongside the culinary pros. 

Dady, one of San Antonio’s highest-profile chefs, has multiple restaurant concepts under his name — Tre Trattoria, Range, Two Bros. BBQ, Umai Mi, Roca & Martillo and more. His newest ambitious project, Mexico Ceaty, is slated to open this April.

Dady has also competed on multiple popular TV cooking competitions, including Beat Bobby Flay and Iron Chef Gauntlet, to name a few. 

$50-$150, 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, The Rock at La Cantera, 1 Spurs Way, therockatlacantera.com.
