Besides the main attraction of the day – POTJIEKOS – there was also fun activities for kids, a live band to keep the party going and liquor on sale to toast to the good times as well as the Springboks’ victory over Australia.
Visitors were invited to come taste the best potjiekos in town for just R50 per meal.
More than 30 teams battled it out during this exciting cook-off, but in the end, there could only be one winner.
After preparing their potjies for most of the morning, judging happened later in the afternoon. The judges had a tough task of selecting a winner out of all the delicious, mouthwatering recipes that were prepared and served.
The Risky Business team (a team consisting of members of Lynca Meats’ Risk Management Department) won the competition with their exquisite traditional Free State beef potjie. Lynca Meats thanked those who joined in on the fun this year, cooked up incredible potjies and made the day special. “Your energy, creativity and love for food made this event unforgettable,” Lynca Meats said in a social media post.
