Guac-Off

So, the rumor on the street is that there is going to be a guacamole contest, otherwise known as a Guac-Off. My friend Dan Haydn and I are both big guacamole fans and we've both been known to make a mean batch of the green goodness. So, over burritos at Beans and Barley the idea to have a hang-out night with two kinds of guacamole was tossed around. Just days later, as we sat at Oscar's after Impact, a contest was mentioned. I, being the competitive spirit that I am, jumped right in on that idea.

This week, as told by one Ryan Leavitt, avacados are buy-one-get-one-free at your friendly neighborhood Jewel. If this is the case, what better time to have a Guac-Off? I can see it now...a new annual, or even bi-annual event. Guacamole makers and lovers far and wide will be flocking to the suburbs of Milwaukee just to be a part of this wondrous contest. What started as two 20-somethings having a friendly competition just may turn into a new phenomenon.

I am, however, a little nervous. What if people don't like my guacamole? What if it is terrible? What if I get a bad batch of avacados? What if I've been bragging about something that actually doesn't taste any good? This really could be a humbling experience...how does it go? Ah yes, pride cometh before the fall. Oh well, all in good fun, all in good fun. Get ready for some guac-a-mo-le!

And here are the contestants:
