Brad and Big Rich’s Cajun Chef’s Cookoff was started as a way to give to someone in need or a group that helps those in need. Started as a family fun event of Cajun Cooking, Auction, Tasting Great Cooking and listening to LIVE Music at Stingaree Restaurant, its growth has moved it to Festival Park, Home of The Texas Crab Festival. Started by Brad Vratis of Stingaree Restaurant, Rich Courville of Courville’s Catering, and David Harris of Bolivar LIVE. Through the years, dodging bad weather conditions, and enjoying it when it was good weather, some great rewards have been accomplished from donating to non-profits to an individual that needed brain surgery. Each year a new group or individual is picked to help. For 2021, all Cook-off Proceeds, Auction Items, T-shirt Sales and more will go to the Organ Donor Network in Memory Of Rayna Reagan a friend to all. The proceeds from the Washer Tournament, benefiting the Texas Crab Festival Charities. This yearly event in October, is one not to miss on Bolivar Peninsula in Crystal Beach, Texas at Festival Park- 1605 Hwy 87 Crystal Beach, Texas.
