Best Kettle-Cooked Goulash Competition / PERMANENT

As the season draws to a close, it's the perfect time for something hearty. You're invited to join the Permanent Kotlík cook-off – a friendly competition where teams from near and far will battle it out to create the best kettle-cooked goulash.

There are countless variations of this classic dish, each inspired by regional traditions or personal twists. Whether you stick to tradition or bring something original to the table, all that matters is flavor, atmosphere, and a shared love for cooking.

The event is open to amateur and professional cooks alike. Come and show us your recipe – or just taste and help us decide which goulash deserves to be crowned the true Vysočany goulash.
