They have the authority to shut down the whole competition if they want to, unless it is entirely on private property, and is not open to the public.

An HD's job is to prevent to spread of foodborn disease and protect an otherwise unknowing public from potential harm that could result in eating that Whopper with Cheese from Burger King. It seems to me any judge would be aware of these inherent risks, and therefore would not need protecting.

I'm sure I am preaching to the choir here, so I apologize for that, I just don't see how we fall under the purview of the law here and I find that frustrating. Thanks for being a sounding board!

This is another thing too. I fill out the registration forms and send in my checks, then down the road, someone has the bright idea to vend for charity and the HD gets involved and now we can't even prep at home and we are almost strongarmed into participating-some teams don't have FH permits, new teams and solo cooks are struggling just to play the game and then they throw vending in the mix!
Even when you say I'm not vending, they say its for the Judges protection.
