Hosted at Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills, the OBX Chowder Cook-Off is part of Taste of the Beach 2026. This annual seafood showdown brings local restaurants together to compete for the title of Best Seafood Chowder.

Held outdoors at the Brewing Station, the event is tasting-style rather than a seated dinner. Guests move from table to table sampling different chowders, comparing flavors, and casting their vote for their favorite.

What’s Included

• Unlimited chowder samples from participating restaurants

• Two drink tickets (beer, wine, soda, or water)

• People’s Choice voting

This event is a strong option for groups and families looking for a casual, high-energy food experience with plenty of variety in one place.
