Jack Goldburg, co-founder of Jack’s Dining Room, will compete against University of Florida fans for a total of $40,000 in cash prizes on Saturday, November 7.
The event is the second stop of the Yes Chef Tailgates tour presented by Pepsi. It is scheduled to take place at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as The Swamp, ahead of the Gators' football game against the University of Oklahoma.
Pepsi has been a partner of the University of Florida for 21 years. The company is using this event to promote its Tailgating Deserves Pepsi campaign. The promotion includes food from vendors Grievous Angel and LoveBird, a performance by DJ gudgroove, and free samples of Pepsi Zero Sugar and Pepsi Prebiotic Cola.
The tailgate area will open to RSVP guests at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. These early attendees can play in the Reaction Catch, Football Toss, and Pepsi Putt games without cost. Scores from this initial period will determine a leaderboard.
At 6:00 p.m., the Beat Jack challenge will begin. Contestants from the leaderboard will face Jack and the Jack’s Dining Room team in head-to-head matches. Winners of these specific challenges will share the $40,000 prize pool.
The general public can enter the stadium at 6:30 p.m. without an RSVP, subject to available capacity. The event is open to Florida residents aged 18 and older who present a government-issued photo ID.
RSVPs are currently available through the Jack’s Dining Room Instagram account. The contest is sponsored by Yes Chef Group and administered by Chem Creative. Pepsi does not judge the games or award the prizes directly.
