"Our customers are passionate about beef — which cuts they select, what marinades or rubs they use and how they prepare it," Mary Kellmanson, Winn-Dixie's senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "They are the true 'Beef People' and we want to feature them combining our beef with their local flavor to make it just right."

The contest takes place Sept. 6-30.
