Inspired by something similar in Fremantle, Victoria Park locals gathered to choose the best lasagna in town in 4 categories: There are four categories.
1 - local restaurants and cafes 2 - home cook - traditional lasagne 3 - home cook - vegetarian lasagne 4 - the people's choice award
Spectators could pay the low price of $5 to eat. Each person then got one vote for the people's choice award. were showered with praise if they brought along a salad to go with the feast.
The rules for the Lasagne Bake Off were:

- Judges will be using the E.A.T method for scoring a. Execution 20% b. Appearance 30% c. Taste 50%
- Judges will be tasting blind. Each entrant will cut out the best bit of their lasagne and put it in a provided container. Container will be numbered and only front desk staff will have access to the numbers.
- In the event of a tie, the second judging group will taste the tied lasagnes and determine a winner. People’s Choice award
- Each person with a valid ticket and all entrants will get one vote in the people’s choice award.
