The next vote is coming up: Who will be crowned the world champion on the plate?
The countries have been decided—now it’s time for the all-important question:
Which dish will be ordered most often during our TOP(f)TEAMS weeks?
From today through June 9, you can vote for your personal favorite to be crowned the culinary world champion. Vote for the traditional dish from a TOP(f)TEAM that you think will receive the most orders by the end and thus become our official 2026 World Champion Dish.
Who’s in the lead? Will it be a Japanese classic? A favorite Mexican dish? Or will a Mediterranean specialty from Spain or Portugal make it to the top of the podium?
Now it’s your turn again!
If you guess correctly, you’ll win a gift certificate for drinks and food at REM!
Kickoff on June 10, 2026
Starting June 10, every Wednesday at PAPA, and starting June 11, every Thursday at CANTEEN, our culinary World Cup journey begins.

We can’t wait to see which dish takes home the title in the end.
