10:34 AM >> Annual Holiday Guac-Off 2006



As part of the third (?) annual holiday guac-off I entered my Roasted Groucho Guac inspired by the comedy and antics of Groucho Marx. The avacado was mixed with a roasted red pepper, a roasted tomato, and a roasted tomatillo and some sauteed onions, a little lemon juice, roasted garlic, oregano, some pepper and salt. It was garnished with paprika and a pair of Groucho glasses.


The winner of this year's contest in both the presentation and taste category was Tri-State University alumni Kenneth Dunn (Waterloo, IN) with his BLTGuac. This was his rookie year in the guac-off and his first ever attempt at making guacamole. His recipe was inspired by a Rachel Ray guacamole. Congratulations on your victory this year, Ken. Next year will be a vicious fight I can already tell.



The other entry was Dusty's Cinderella Guac inspired by Cinderella -- the classic tale of mean stepmothers and sisters and getting back at them and finding a prince. Good guac Dusty and nice drawing that you made. But you better step it up for next year. Who knows maybe next time we'll be battling with the always inventive Dallas who missed this year's contest because of a broken ham string.

Thanks for another great guac-off. But you guys will learn. Next year. I will have my revenge.

Sincerely,
A Vengeful Avacado, Jr.
