The World Championship Chocolate Gravy Cookoff just visited Searcy, Arkansas.
The results were delicious!
The popular event ran out of biscuits long before it finished at 11 am. Thankfully, one local vendor was selling homemade sourdough bread so people could use that instead of going hungry.

Everyone who attended was allowed to have free chocolate biscuits and gravy. It’s no surprise they ran out of biscuits!
The food was a perfect example of southern food that makes Arkansas such a tourist destination.
One vendor, Joe Sledge, was selling homemade “Sour Joe” Bread. The homemade bread went perfectly with homemade chocolate gravy!
