Post-Competition Taco Haze

After this past weekend, I need another weekend to recover. While my friend Phil and I didn't win diddly, we did have a blast at The Food Experiment Taco Cookoff this past Sunday. Team Mad Cows did good--we made our mothers proud, fed our friends well, and ate tacos and beer. It goes without saying, but I couldn't have pulled it off without my assistant, Phil. Thanks for reigning me in when I wanted to buy more supplies, prepping 300 tacos with me, and keeping up the laughter the whole time through.

Presenting to the judges

Tacos, tacos and more tacos

Just enjoying ourselves by this point...plating taco #256?

Big, huge, enormous tortilla-sized thanks goes to my friends who came out to support us: Mark, Alex, Kim, Brittany, Clara, Lord and Mike. You guys were the best beer and taco fetchers and confidence boosters a girl could ask for. Alex especially, thank you for being the designated photographer. And a big thanks to the friends who threw their support in but couldn't quite make it: Sebastian, Rob, Matt, Lauren, Eshawn and Jennifer.

Read more about the Taco Experiment over at: The Food Experiment, Brightest Young Things (if only they hadn't shot the pictures with a fish eye lens) and Metromix. Look ma! We're all over the interwebs!

Congratulations to the winners!
