Two friends couldn’t agree on who made the best Lobster Chilau\, a Key West staple. What else to do but settle it with a cook-off? The inaugural throwdown went down in the courtyard of Rick’s & Durty Harry’s Entertainment Complex\, with secret family recipes and judges galore. The event was such a hit (though we’ll keep the winner a secret)\, they knew they had to take it bigger. The next year\, Lobsterfest moved to the bustling Duval Street\, welcoming more participants\, spectators\, and sponsors than ever before. Fast forward to today\, and this epic food fight has transformed into a 4-day extravaganza that takes over the entire island! \n\nKEY WEST LOBSTERFEST 2026 28th Annual\nAll information / data courtesy of the event organizers.
